Taiwanese Scallion Pancake

Though similar variations of scallion pancakes may be found in other Asian nations, they are a popular and much sought-after snack or complement to other dishes in Taiwan. The pancakes are made using an unleavened dough that is flattened, then rolled and pressed to make a flat pancake that is pan-fried till crispy.

These delightful treats are occasionally made with the same type of dough that is rolled and deep-fried before being smeared with a flavorful blend of scallions, in addition to the traditional version. Scallion pancakes, in all its variants, are a popular street dish in Taiwan, especially at traditional night markets.

Although the pancakes can be served with other foods, they are commonly served with a variety of dipping sauces.
