Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 cup water, 1 egg, and 1/2 tsp salt until smooth. The batter should be thin and pourable.

  2. Step 2

    Trim and cut 8 scallions into 2-inch pieces, then add them to the batter and stir to coat.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it into an even circle. Cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Flip the pancake carefully, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil around the edges, and cook until the other side is golden and the pancake is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Meanwhile, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp rice vinegar in a small bowl for dipping.

  7. Step 7

    Slide the pancake onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve hot with the dipping sauce.
