Pan-Fried Green Onion Rolls

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add warm water while stirring until the mixture forms a soft dough.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5–7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.

Step 2: Roll and Fill

1. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin rectangle or circle.
2. Brush the surface of the dough with sesame oil, then sprinkle evenly with chopped green onions. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning.
3. Roll the dough into a tight log, then coil it into a spiral shape, tucking the end underneath. Flatten gently with your palm or a rolling pin.

Step 3: Pan-Fry the Rolls

1. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Place the rolls in the skillet and cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
3. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the rolls warm, with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.

Pro Tips

• For Extra Layers: After sprinkling the green onions, make small cuts along the rolled dough before coiling to create more layers.
• Add Some Spice: Sprinkle a bit of chili flakes or minced garlic along with the green onions for a spicier flavor.
• Make Ahead: These rolls can be prepared and frozen before frying. Just defrost and fry them fresh when you’re ready.
