Andong, there is one other 葱油饼 rolling method that yields even more layers than your method. Roll the dough into a rectangle, and sprinkle scallions across the entire surface. Instead of having them all together in a clump of chopped scallion, have them separated. When you roll, roll from both sides of the rectangle, so that you end up with a double-snake shape. Then, coil from both ends toward each other, and stack the coils and press them down. The resulting cake will have four layers of coils, each with its own internal layers. Your current method has all the scallion concentrated in the beginning of the roll. Scattering scallion bits across the whole dough rectangle will leave scallion bits between every single layer. (I saw this method when researching various methods for making 葱油饼.) Also, another trick that lets you disperse the scallions more evenly: you know how the scallion leaves are tubes? Cut them in half and flatten them so they become ribbons, and then slice them up. The flat chopped scallions seem to disperse and press down more easily than little tube segments.

You can see that the final scallion pancake has four layers of coiled rolled dough, for 4x the number of layers. To facilitate this much stretching and flattening of layers, a pure hot-water dough might not work. The dough might need to accommodate more stretching, so perhaps a warm water dough or a blend is needed. But I don't know this from experience, so try a few variations to see what works.

I've been in korea during one year, and all the pankakes I've tasted were really really thin and without that much batter. Your's seems to close from our western vision we have from a pankake ; fluffy and where batter is the king. In the korean version, the main contenders must be the sauce and the scalions. More importantly, you should be able to cut and separate very easly parts of the pankake when you are eating it with chopsticks. The key here is to use less batter, but just enough to make a pankake (mixing the scallions in the batter and droping them afterward in the pan is a good way of doing it). And for the sauce, you can replace sugar with honey and add some sesame seeds and chopped white onions and garlic, it will be so much tastier. Anyway I've discovered your channel 1 week ago and I'm binge-watching your channel. I love your content, and I will definitely try the chinese version, as it seems close to my french heart. Have a great day my friend !

(Korean here) Generally the green onion to batter ratio is pretty skewed for my taste, normally you'd see the green onion chopped into finger-length stalks and enough in there to cover the surface of the pan. Mixing them straight into the batter also helps wilt them a bit so you get better crisp :) also add the whole egg for some nice richness and bounce to the pancake!

As a Chinese Korean, (I’m not sure the correct way to put it in English, basically, my ancestors were Korean and they moved to China). In Korea, 전 is a category of food I believe, there are not only 파전, there are also, for instance, 오징어전(squid pancake) 야채전(vegetable pancake) and many other kind of 전. If that’s considered, korean 전 also have a place in my heart. However, 葱油饼 win this “scallions pancake battle” for sure, that crispy scallion taste just never gets old. 😆

the葱油餅 is pretty legit! saw someone recommend Taiwanese 蔥抓餅 in the comment, and I like it more as it is less doughy and flakier, like a roti canai, more suitable for snacking! in Hong Kong 手抓餅(same fleaky pancake without scallion) is even more popular you can choose melted cheese, corn, grilled meat...etc as a topping but the most popular one is with purple yam (紫薯手抓餅) the Korean one looks a bit too thick compare what I had in Korea (lived there for couple of years) 파전usually is like the scallion (with seafood most of the time)barely cover with a thin layer of batter each side. Also in Korean household they use a pre mix flour called "부침가루" (pancake flour) which is plain flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic and onion power. Use Ice water to mix the batter may help to achieve the crunchiness. I saw a programme years ago chef in Japanese use ice water / cold beer mix into tempura batter for the light texture.

Here in Korea there are two popular methods to achieve crispiness. They are often done in conjunction. 1. Use ice cold water for the batter. It just needs to be very cold but a bit of thin ice forming on the surface of the water is even better. When the cold batter touches the hot surface of the pan, the inside of the pancake will take more time to cook than a lukewarm batter, consequently allowing the outside to stay longer in contact with the heat and crisp up. 2. Simply add some oil to the batter before cooking. Think of pastry doughs brushed with egg yolks or oil before baking in the oven. Same basic idea. I do like the sparkling water idea though. It would definitely aerate the batter in a manner much akin to fish and chips.

I've read some Chinese chefs and home cooks advise to saute the chopped-up *white* part of the onions in the oil that (after a couple minutes of cooking) you will then add the flour to to make the roux. This infuses the oil with onion flavor and is what gives an onion pancake a real onion-y taste. I haven't tried that refinement yet but the technique makes sense to me. Aside from that, I adore your videos! You have a great mix of explaining history and technique and origins along with just the practical how-to steps. Am eager to get in the kitchen and try several of the things you've demo'd in various videos. Especially appreciate the hot water dough explanation in this one. Thanks for all your hard work, Andong!

In China, people sometimes use a more sophisticated method to fold the dough. They score (cut but leave the two ends intact) the dough sheet parallel to the long edge of the imaginary rectangle, like fettuccine with connected ends, add scallion, fold as if the sheet wasn't scored, and, before coiling, gently twist it into a multi-helix (imagine a striped candy cane). This method creates larger surface area and thus a crispier 葱油饼. Due to scallion leakage made intentionally, it also adds a chared scallion flavor, which people like me love.

Hi Andong! I really enjoy the amount of effort that you put into all of your videos. I have a few tips for your next jeon. Generally speaking, Korean pancakes are more about the fillings than the batter itself. When making a traditional jeon I usually start by tossing the assorted fillings in just enough batter to make a thin glaze that holds the ingredients together without making it too thick and cakey. It can be fried over medium heat and periodically wiggled around and tossed until the wisps of batter on either side are golden brown and crisp. The end result should feature the fillings front and center, have a light gummy chew from the batter holding it together, and a nice lacy exterior that gets lightly crispy. Hope these tips come in handy. I cant wait to see more korean dishes from you! Cheers!

One more tip if you want to make the pancakes even crispier, replace some of the water (or sparkling water in this case) with a neutrally flavored spirit like vodka. The alcohol will boil out much faster than the water leaving less water in the final product. Be careful though, too much alcohol will dry out the pancake. Even just replacing 5-10% of the water with alcohol will make a big difference.

exactly my point, don't take it wrongly pls, i have many Malaysian friends myself! they are mainly originated from southern part of china. southern chinese make very different kind of 葱油饼,not quite the ones as northern chinese would make, which shown in this video.

I make them with my sourdough discard. Straight outta the jar. I keep frozen chopped scallion. Add them on top, with sesame seeds and a bit of merken. Best breakfast ever. I will try to make the chinese ones~ that flakey texture looks delish

I made the Chinese scallion pancakes a few months ago, and it IS essential to let the dough rest, and then let the pancakes rest. The ones I cooked right away were flaky, crispy... and tough. The ones that were rested were miles better. One tip I read was to finely mince the white part of the scallions and add to the roux, along with some onion powder, which I know isn't authentic but it boosted the scallion flavor of the whole pancake.

Since everyone is sharing their love for the Chinese pancake I thought I'd share my love for the Korean pancake: I love how quick and versatile it is to make! As Andong mentioned, you can literally add whatever you want to it, such as any left over veg you might have! I love adding carrot, or kimchi, or courgette/zucchini, or tuna to mine. And I usually just mix it all in to the batter rather than adding it after putting the batter in the pan. It's so easy and low effort to make, definitely recommend trying it out!

for korean jeon, you need to remember scallion is the king not flour. Flour is there just to hold scallion in place. Jeon is not pizza which you sprinkle something on top of flour dough. You make jeon by filling frying pan with scallion, kimchi or anything you want eat and just hold them together using flour.

The oldschool way of the Chinese one uses a combination of veggie oil and lard for 油酥 (the roux-like mixture), resulting in a fried pork flavor that resembles crispy bacon but uncured/unsmoked; in some versions, for example the one from the famous restaraunt shown at 6:20, minced pork fat is added along with scallions. If the crispy crust is the body of 葱油饼, the harmony of flavor of scallion, spices, and caramelized pork is the soul.

True but I think that is done for a whole different reason 🤨 we use hot water to make all sorts of "rotti" with rice flour, sorghum flour, maize flour (which is similar to cornmeal) and other millet based flours. This is because they are gluten-free and need hot water to bring out starch to bind the flour. Otherwise they fall apart

Because there's no gluten and cold or room-temperature water doesn't work so well.

The traditional way of making 葱油饼requires lard instead of vegetable oil for the filling. Then you bake it first before finishing it by lightly frying

A nice trick to start the rolling is to lay one edge of the dough on a strip of parchment. That way you don't have to grip the edge to get things going.

Man andong, you make such good content. What makes you decide on the type of videos you are going to make? You should do something on hispanic food! Id like to see a Dominican/cuban/puerto rican style pernil (porkshoulder) since yall germans love pork it would be a good contrast or like a Dominican rice and beans or somethin.

I love the chinese one, it's my go to... but the Korean one, I actually use sourdough discard which is a tip from Mike Green, and it gives an awesome depth of flavour, and it somehow boosts umami. So, for a quick random snack I'll go chinese, but if I've got it Korean with sourdhough discard will be my ultimate choice.

Andong, you have way little green onion on the Korean version. The Korean green onion pancake normally has more green onion than batter. The batter should just act like glue in between the green onions. What you made here is a fried wheat pancake just topped with some green onion stripes. You can‘t really call that a pajeon.

There are various genres of scallion pancakes in China. Such like Shandong style , Shanghai style , Taiwan style etc..My favorite is a kind of scallion pancake I have eaten in Shanghai. The crust contains a lot of water and it will be fried first and then baked.

Maggi is totally fine to use. The Japanese girl that stayed at tge student home with us used it too. I was really surprised at first, but in a way it just tastes similar to soy sauce.
