Yield: 8 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
3 cup: Flour, cake or all-purpose
1 cup: Boiling water,
1/4 cup: Cold water or more if dough feels too dry,
3 tbsp: Shortening,
Vegetable oil for pan frying,
FILLING
3 ounce: Boneless breast of chicken skinned, diced
1/2 tsp: Cornstarch,
1/4 tsp: Cooking sherry,
1/4 lbs: Chinese sausage, diced
1 tbsp: Chinese dried shrimp, minced
1 tsp: Vegetable oil,
3 ounce: Chinese barbecued pork diced,
1 bunch: Green onions, minced
1 tsp: Oyster sauce, optional
1 tsp: Soy sauce,
1/4 tsp: Sugar,
1/4 tsp: Salt,
Directions:
MEASURE FLOUR into a large mixing bowl; add boiling water, stirring
quickly with chopsticks or fork, then add cold water and mix well.
Work dough until smooth and supple. Roll dough into shape of a ball.
Cover well with plastic wrap or damp cloth; set aside to rest for 1
hour at room temperature. Place the chicken in a small bowl; add
cornstarch, cooking sherry and pinch of salt. Set aside and
refrigerate and let marinate until ready to use. Stir-fry Chinese
sausage and dried shrimp in hot vegetable oil in a small frying pan
over high heat for 1 minute. Add chicken with its marinade and
stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Quickly stir in barbecued pork and
3/4 cup of the minced onions. (Set aside remaining onions for pancake
wrappers.) Immediately season with the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar
and salt, and mix well. Turn off heat; divide into 16 portions and
set aside. Knead dough until smooth and divide equally into 16
pieces; cover with plastic wrap. Work 1 piece of dough at a time,
keeping the rest covered in plastic wrap. Take a piece of dough and
rub both sides with a bit of shortening, then roll out with a rolling
pin to 6 inches in diameter. Again rub shortening (about 1 teaspoon)
onto 1 side of the dough; sprinkle evenly with about 1 teaspoon
minced scallions and a pinch of salt. Curl up the dough from 1 end
into a long, narrow cylinder; then curl up again lengthwise into a
snail-like cylinder. Place the dough on its broad side and roll out
again with a rolling pin into a piece about 4 inches in diameter.
Place one portion of filling in center of dough and seal well on top
by pinching the dough like a dumpling. Flatten into a 2-inch-diameter
onion pancake. Set aside. Repeat until all the dough is prepared. Pan
fry the onion pancakes in a thin layer of hot vegetable oil over
medium heat, about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Pat
the onion pancakes gently with a paper towel to remove excess oil
before serving. Makes 16 Pancakes, or 8 Servings
