【Chinese Wild Garlic Pancake】
✨ Ingredients: (for 5 servings)
440 g flour
60 g wild garlic
120 mL water (hot)
90 mL water (cold)
10 g salt
50 g white sesame seeds
60 mL vegetable oil
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
2 tbsp sweet soy sauce
2 tbsp dark rice vinegar
1 tsp chilli oil
1 tsp sugar
Vegetable oil (for greasing, frying)
✨ Utensils needed:
Bowl (large), chopsticks, plastic wrap, kitchen towel (damp, optional), frying pan (with lid), food processor, cutting board, knife, heatproof bowl, rolling pin, pastry brush (optional), bowl (small), spatula
✨ Instructions:
1️⃣ Add flour and salt to a large bowl and mix to combine with a pair of chopsticks. Add boiling water and continue to mix well. Add cold water and use your hands to knead until a dough forms. Adjust the amount of cold water until the dough feels soft; not sticky. Cover with plastic wrap or damp kitchen towel and let rest for at least ⏱30 minutes at room temperature, or, ideally, in the fridge overnight.
2️⃣ Add sesame seeds to a frying pan over medium-low heat and toast until golden, then remove from the pan. In the same pan, heat up vegetable oil until hot but not smoking. Pulse sesame in a food processor (it doesn’t have to be super fine) or grind in a mortar and pestle. Chop wild garlic, add to a heatproof bowl with remaining flour, five spice powder, salt, and ground sesame seeds. Drizzle hot vegetable oil over wild garlic mixture and mix to combine.
3️⃣ After the dough has rested, grease a large wooden cutting board. Divide the dough into equal pieces. Roll out into a rectangle until very thin using an oiled rolling pin. Spread some of the wild garlic filling on top. Roll up into a long thin snake and stretch both sides out by pulling gently. Roll the log from both sides into a snail and set aside to rest; if you’re making a large batch, brush a thin layer of oil while they rest so they don’t dry out. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients. Flatten each disk with a rolling pin again, until you have pancakes about 7-8 inch/20 cm in diameter.
4️⃣ To make a simple dipping sauce, mix sweet soy sauce with dark rice vinegar, chilli oil, and sugar in a small bowl and set aside. Heat some vegetable oil in the same frying pan you used before over medium-low heat. Once hot, add a pancake, cover, and fry. After approx. ⏱3-5 minutes, flip the pancake. Fry until both sides are golden brown. Repeat with all remaining pancakes and serve with the dipping sauce. Enjoy~😃
