I remember purchasing these at snack stalls in China! I like home-made ones (like my grandma makes) though because its less greasy. There's also this kind that is leavened with yeast that's more chewy and bread-like.

Thanks for the recipe! I'll try it myself sometime!

Do give them a try, they are so easy.

These were everyone's favorites at our local Dim Sum lunch place.

I was please to learn how easy they are to make.

I fried them whole and then cut them into wedges and serve them with sweet red vinegar. Just like at the restaurant.

Oh, that sounds good too!

Oohhh, I'm getting such good ideas (and excuses to make these over and over and over!).

I love scallion pancakes, thanks for sharing this!

One Q, I don't really understand this part: Once you have rolled the dough up, gently twist it as shown in the picture. Is that picture actually shown here? What is the point of twisting the dough before rolling it up into the snail shape?

Whoops, typo on my part. I copied the recipe from the pdf I was creating, and forgot to save the correct version. I like to twist it because twisting it helps seal the dough together, and when you twist it, the seam gets wrapped around so it doesn't come open. You can do the same thing by wetting the dough a little bit, but twisting it is just easier.
