    Green Onion Pancake or some call it scallion pancake, is one of the most popular Taiwan traditional food, especially so popular that everywhere you wander in Taiwan, you would get many chances to bump into at least one green-onion-pancake vendor.

    Also, it is one of the easiest-to-prepare breakfast or afternoon-tea recipe for Taiwan family. In the rush-hour weekday morning, just put one of the frozen green onion pancake into a frying pan. Grease the pan with about a table spoon of cooking oil or more to coat the bottom and sides of pan. Then, fry it with medium heat until both sides are golden crispy. With soybean sauce, spicy sauce, or a fried egg is how we Taiwanese can really enjoy a good taste of the green onion pancake. Willing to give a try, a pure and genuine Taiwan food? Just follow my footstep. For beginners, what I share with you is just a piece of cake.

3. Spay small amount of all purpose flour on a working table, after punching down to expel the air, divide the dough into 8 equal parts.

6. Roll each circle up like making a cinammon roll, and roll it again as a snail.
