Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 cup water, and 1 egg until smooth; the batter should be thin and pourable.

  2. Step 2

    Cut 6 green onions into 2-inch pieces, then add them to the batter and stir to coat.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; pour in the batter and spread it into an even circle.

  4. Step 4

    Cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes; carefully flip and cook the other side until golden, another 3-4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

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

  6. Step 6

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