I got a batch of HUGE scallions from my weekly farm share, so what is a girl to do?? Make grilled scallion pancakes!! These are very simple to make and the best part is your kitchen doesn’t get covered in oil when you make them on the grill! Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
Pancakes
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup boiling water
- About 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 2 cups thinly sliced scallions
Sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp thinly sliced fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp thinly sliced scallions
- 2 tsp sugar
Directions:
1. Add the flour to the bowl of a food processor.
2. With the processor on, slowly add the boiling water until a sticky dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and need a few times into a ball.
4. Place the dough ball in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
5. While the dough is resting, in a small bowl, mix together all sauce ingredients and set aside.
6. After the 30 min, split the dough into 4 equal parts.
7. On a floured surface, roll out one of the parts into about an 8 inch circle.
8. Brush lightly with sesame oil and roll into a log.
9. Spiral the log into a circle and tuck the ends underneath. Then roll out into an 8 inch circle again.
10. Brush with more sesame oil and spread 1/4 of the scallions on the dough. Roll into a log and the spiral log into a circle again.
11. Roll the dough to about a 7 inch circle. Place the finished pancake on a plate lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper and brush the top lightly with sesame oil again. Repeat the same steps for the other 3 parts.
12. Preheat 2 grates on 1 side of your grill to high to create indirect heat on the opposite side of the grill.
13. Lightly oil your grates to prevent sticking.
14. Gently lay the pancakes down on the indirect heat side of the grill and close the lid.
15. Check on the pancakes regularly to avoid burning. Once you start to see grill marks and the pancakes starts to firm up, flip to the other side.
16. Remove the finished pancakes from the grill to a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm while you finish grilling the others.
17. Cut or rip into pieces, dip in your sauce, and enjoy
