A Lazy Snack-- Scallion Pancakes, via gagainthekitchen

Just a quick post on something I made for a quick snack. As an avid Tastespotting aficionado, I've lurked many, many blogs and bookmarked hundreds of recipes. One such recipe is from gagainthekitchen, and it couldn't look much easier! Scallion pancakes seem to be common in Taiwan and China, and even we have a similar dish: Korean pancakes, or pajeon (파전). The main difference is that pajeon contains egg. Therefore, the scallion pancakes are a lot doughier. Almost every culture has their version of a savory "pancake" or flatbread.

I totally forgot to put enough salt, but other that that, these were really tasty and quick to make! Also, no real measuring is required which is awesome because I'm lazy. Head over to gaga's to read her step-by-step instructions!



Sorry for the horrible coloration of the pics.. heheh. Ma badddd

I love the "layers" you get in the finished product because of the rolling+flattening beforehand.

I abandoned the rolling pin after the second pancake and used my hands. Zomg I am supersuper lazy today.

See the layers?

For the sauces, I combined soy sauce + rice vinegar + freshly cracked black pepper for the first one, and mayo + sweet chili sauce + sriracha + a pinch of salt for the second. I wanted a combo of sweet + salty, sauce + dip. Next time, though, I'm gonna add a squeeze of lime juice to the mayo-based dip. I think it'll go well with the other flavors + thin the dip out. How many more +'s can I cram in here? +++++++++++
