Chinese Noodle Pancakes Recipes

CHINESE MANDARIN PANCAKE

Steps:

• Pour the flour into a large bowl. Prepare boiling water and a pair of chop stickers. Slowly pour the water in, at the meantime stir the flour in one direction immediately. Then pour the cold water with the same process.
• Wait for the flour to cool down to room temperature. Then knead the dough until smooth (around 6-10 minutes, you can use a stand mixer to help this process). Cover with wet towel and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer the dough into a floured surface. Roll the dough into a long strip and then cut into 10 equal sections. Press each a little bit to a thick wrapper.
• Prepare two wrappers. Brush some oil on top of one wrapper, and also the bottom of the other one. Press the two together. Roll the overlapped pancake to a large circle.
• Brush some oil in your pan and then fry the pancake over middle heat until one side becomes slightly browned, turn over to fry the other side until slightly browned too.
• Tear one pancake from the other one.

MANDARIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and boiling water, starting with 3/4 cup. Begin stirring it immediately, adding a little more water at a time until a shaggy dough forms.
• Knead the warm dough for about 6 minutes, or until you have a smooth dough. If the dough sticks to your hands or the counter, add a sprinkle of flour.
• Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• Turn the rested dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough in half to form 2 balls. Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll each half out until it is 1/4-inch thick.
• Use a cookie cutter or trace a glass or mug with a knife to cut out 3-inch circles of dough.
• Use a pastry brush to brush 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil over the top of 2 dough circles. Lay one pancake on top of the other, so that the oiled sides are together. (Don't worry if one of the edges hangs over the other.)
• Roll out the pancakes together to form a 6-inch circle. Continue with the remainder of the pancakes. Use a damp towel to cover the prepared pancakes and keep them from drying out while preparing the remaining dough.
• Heat a nonstick or cast-iron frying pan over medium heat. Add one of the pancake pairs and cook until browned on both sides-about 3 minutes altogether; the second side will cook more quickly than the first side.
• Remove the paired pancakes from the pan and pull them apart while they are still hot. Cover to keep warm. Continue with the remainder of the pancakes. Serve immediately.

PAN-FRIED CHINESE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Dissolve salt in warm water, and mix in 1 cup of flour to make a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface, and knead until slightly springy, about 5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, knead in 1/4 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Divide the dough into 8 equal-size pieces, and keep the pieces covered with a cloth.
• In a bowl, mix 1/4 cup of flour with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to make a mixture like fine crumbs.
• On a floured work surface, roll a piece of dough out into a thin square about 5x7 inches in size, brush the dough with toasted sesame oil, and sprinkle lightly with about 1 1/2 teaspoon of the flour-oil mixture. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of chopped green onion onto the dough, and spread the onion out evenly. Starting with a long end, roll the dough up into a rope shape, and pinch the seam and the ends closed. Roll the rope shape into a flat spiral, and press lightly with your hands to compact the spiral and keep it from unrolling.
• Place the spiral down onto the floured work surface, and gently roll it out into a pancake with the onions folded inside, turning the pancake over often as you roll it out. Roll gently and turn often to avoid making holes in the pancakes. Finished pancakes should be about 5 inches in diameter. Repeat with the rest of the dough pieces, making 8 onion pancakes.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and brush with vegetable oil. Pan-fry each pancake in the hot skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

CHINESE SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl; pour in boiling water and quickly mix together until water is absorbed. Work cold water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, into flour mixture just until dough forms. Knead dough for 10 minutes. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let dough rest for 40 minutes.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface; divide into 4 equal pieces.
• Roll 1 piece of dough into a large thin round; brush the top with vegetable oil and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 the green onions. Pick up 1 end of the round and roll dough around green onions into a long scroll-shape. Take 1 scroll end and roll dough into a disk. Repeat with remaining dough, letting each disk rest for 10 minutes.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place 1 disk on a floured surface and roll into a 1/2-inch thick round; cook in the hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining disks.

CRISPY NOODLE PANCAKE

Steps:

• Cook noodles in large pot of boiling water 1 1/2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain. Rinse with cold water. Drain well. Toss with green onions, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, and pepper in bowl.
• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil and sesame oil in a heavy 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add noodles and flatten slightly. Cook without stirring until light brown, about 6 minutes. Turn and cook second side until light brown, 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Cut into wedges.
