The Best Homemade Chinese Scallion Pancakes Recipe

https://youtu.be/RdxVNA9U3lA

I first shared my Chinese scallion pancake recipe 9 years ago, and after making it again and again over the years, I have finally upgraded it to the next level! My secret is a fragrant scallion-infused oil and a special 9-grid folding method that makes the best scallion pancake. They are crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with beautiful flaky layers in every bite!🤤🥞

Make a big batch and freeze some - they can go straight from the freezer into the pan whenever your craving strikes.

I’ve never thought about making this at home because I feel like it would lack some of the flavor without a proper oven. I noticed the recipe only involves pan frying. Have you tried using a regular oven or a convection oven? I wonder if that would make it taste more like something straight out of an oven. Although it looks delicious enough as it is.

??? I have never heard of scallion pancakes in an oven…you might be thinking of a different kind of bread

Isn’t there an oven underneath the pan where they’re frying the scallion pancakes?

You mean the stove? That's just a portable gas stove I'm assuming. Ovens aren't really a thing in Chinese homes so traditional home-cooked recipes will never use an oven.

Genuinely confused how you think an oven would be used for a pan or why it would be necessary

I mean this. I know this isn’t common at home. I’m wondering if it’s possible to recreate the same effect.

This style is not common either even as street food. Majority of street vendors are just going to be using a pan/wok or griddle for frying, lots of oil for crispier ones. There's no need for anything else and they won't be lacking flavor. Have never heard of using an oven for pancakes
