CHINESE GREEN ONION CAKES image

Yield 10 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup hot water
1 cup green onion, chopped
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon melted butter to brush on dough
2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

Combine salt and flour in a mixing bowl. Mix together honey and hot water in a separate bowl. Slowly add water/honey mixture into the flour while stirring. Knead the dough until smooth, adding a little water or a little flour as needed to achieve a smooth consistency. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour. Remove dough and roll out flat, brush slightly with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped green onion. Fold over and knead mixture to incorporate the onion bits. Divide in two, roll into a 1/2 inch diameter cylinder and divide into 10 parts. Flatten and coil up each segment into a pancake about 5 inches in diameter, ensuring the edges adhere so the cakes don't come apart when frying. Heat up the oil in a skillet at a medium heat and fry each cake, one side at a time, until it is light brown. Serve warm with Chinese chili garlic dipping sauce and soya sauce.
