Wilson Tang owns Nom Wah Tea Parlor, the longest-running dim sum restaurant in New York City's Chinatown, and he recently released The Nom Wah Cookbook, which includes recipes for perennial favorites like scallion pancakes. "They're a classic," he says. "That flaky texture makes them a light appetizer," he says.

Yield 8 scallion pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup rice wine vinegar
3/4 cup light soy sauce
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/3 cups boiling water
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
8 scallions, chopped
Kosher salt
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce: Combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil in a small bowl and whisk until the sugar dissolves; set aside.
  • Make the scallion pancakes: Put the flour in a large bowl, then add the boiling water and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball.
  • Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, elastic and no longer sticky, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the dough to a large bowl, cover and let rest 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200˚ F. Divide the dough into 8 pieces, then roll each into a thin 8-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Brush each circle of dough with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and sprinkle with 1 heaping tablespoon scallions; season with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Roll up each circle of dough into a cigar; then, working from one side, roll each into a coil, tucking the ends underneath. Lightly flour the surface again and roll each coil to a 7-inch pancake (1/8 inch thick).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pancake and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining pancakes, adding 1 more tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet each time and reducing the heat to medium if the pancakes are browning too quickly. Slice the pancakes into wedges. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Time 16m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon hot chili paste, such as sriracha hot chili paste
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
1 big slice fresh ginger, smashed
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves and stems
1 large egg
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Peanut oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce: Combine all the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl and let it sit while you make the pancakes. Remove the ginger and cilantro before serving.
  • For the pancakes: Put the egg, water, sesame oil, and salt into a blender and blend well. Add the flour and blend until smooth, it should be the consistency of heavy cream. Stir in the cilantro, scallion, and sesame seeds. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat; add 1 teaspoon peanut oil and spread it around the pan with a paper towel. Pour in half the batter, swirling and tipping the pan to get one thin layer over the bottom of the pan. Cook until set, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook on the other side for about 1 minute. Place the scallion pancake on a platter and make another pancake with the remaining batter. Cut the pancakes into wedges or roll them up and cut them into pieces. Serve with the dipping sauce.
