Steps:
- In a bowl, combine finely chopped spring onions and Chinese green onion with sesame oil and white pepper (if using). Set aside.
- Measure out plain flour into a large bowl. Sprinkle 3/4 tbsp olive oil over the surface. Drizzle a little water over the surface of the flour (do not be tempted to pour), no more than 2 tbsp of water each time. Using a pair of chopsticks (do not use your hands), start mixing the flour with the oil and water. [mv_img id="1374"]
- Keep drizzling roughly the same amount of water into areas of loose flour, mixing until it has been absorbed, before drizzling more. The flour will increasingly become curdled and resemble scrambled eggs. Keep scraping flour off the sides of the bowl back into the dough mixture. [mv_img id="1376"]
- Repeat until all the loose flour has been absorbed, including the bits of flour sticking to the sides and bottom of the bowl. Once the dough begins to come together, and no longer sticks to the sides and bottom of the bowl, do not add any more water even if you have not used all of it. At this point, use lightly floured hands to gather the dough into a ball in the centre of the bowl. Cover with a damp cloth. Set aside, covered, for 30 minutes. After the required time, divide the dough into two equal portions. [mv_img id="1377"]
- On a lightly floured surface, using flour-dusted hands, lightly knead one portion for about half a minute or so, until the dough is smooth and springy to the touch. [mv_img id="1380"]
- Gather back into a ball. [mv_img id="1381"]
- Roll out into a large, round dough sheet about 3-mm in thickness (lightly dust your counter surface with flour wherever dough starts to stick). [mv_img id="1383"]
- Pour 1 1/2 tbsp of the olive oil in the centre of the dough sheet. [mv_img id="1384"]
- Using both hands, bring in sections of the dough from the edges (perimeter) towards the centre, one section at a time. [mv_img id="1386"]
- Without letting go, dab lightly on the oil to coat the overlapping surfaces, and return the section to the perimeter. [mv_img id="1385"]
- Repeat this all around, until the entire surface area of the dough sheet is evenly coated with oil. [mv_img id="1387"]
- Sprinkle half of the sea salt, evenly, all over the oiled dough sheet. Spread half of the filling in an even layer over the dough sheet, leaving about a 1-cm or 1/2-inch border. [mv_img id="1388"]
- Starting from the bottom right corner of the dough sheet, start rolling the dough. [mv_img id="1389"]
- Work towards the opposite top left corner (again lightly dusting the dough with flour in places where the dough sticks to the surface) [mv_img id="1390"]
- Once completely rolled up, coil one end into itself and under the rest of the roll, such that the end is in contact with the counter surface. [mv_img id="1391"]
- Then turn the rest of the roll round on itself, coiling upwards like a spring coil, as you turn. As you reach the other end of the roll, turn or tuck the end in, into the coil, effectively sealing it. [mv_img id="1393"]
- Flatten the coiled dough by applying controlled pressure with the palm of your hand (do not slam or punch down). [mv_img id="1394"]
- Using light pressure, so as to try to keep the chopped onion bits enclosed, roll out into a 1-cm or 1/2-inch thick pancake. Always roll from the centre out to the edges. Transfer to a lightly floured dish. [mv_img id="1398"]
- Repeat these steps with the remaining dough portion, so you will have two pancakes. [mv_img id="1399"]
- Heat up some olive oil a large skillet over low heat. Once oil is hot, place one pancake in the centre of the skillet. Cover with lid, and let fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the side is cooked and pancake is a lovely, speckled golden brown colour. Flip the pancake over, cover with lid, and pan-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes, until side is cooked and golden brown. Do not be tempted to add more oil. [mv_img id="1400"]
- When cooked, turn off heat. Using a pair of grip tongs, grip the centre of the pancake and turn it upright so that it is on its side. While gripping it, lightly knock it on its side, onto the skillet base, to loosen or 'open up' the layers within the pancake. Place it back down in the skillet, and repeat until the pancake has been 'knocked' all around its sides. When done, dish out onto a serving plate. [mv_img id="1401"]
- When done, dish out onto a serving plate. [mv_img id="1403"]

DEEP-FRIED SPRING ONIONS
This dish is inspired by something similar served at Chez Panisse in Berkeley. It works as a side, of course, but also as an hors d'oeuvre served with drinks. More spring recipes.

Steps:
- In a large, deep pot, pour in 2 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees. Put the buttermilk and flour in separate shallow bowls.
- Trim the tops of the onions so they fit comfortably in the pan. Remove the outer layer and trim the bottom of each onion, then halve them lengthwise (or wedge them if they are thick).
- Dip half the onions in buttermilk, then dredge in flour and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and tender. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt. Repeat with remaining onions.

FRIED SPRING ONION PANCAKE
I like this recipe because it uses only a few simple ingredients. This is a common Chinese Appetizer -- cooked and sold in the Chinese-equivalent of a New York hotdog stand. They go for around $0.10 each in China and are typically purchased as a light breakfast or a quick snack between meals.

Steps:
- Boil 1 cup of water; Add 1/4 cup of cold water to the boiled water.
- Put 3 cups of flour into a large bowl; Slowly pour approximately 1 cup of the hot water into the flour and stir the bowl while you pour.
- Knead until all of the flour in the bowl has joined the dough; (It may seem like there is too little water at first, but be patient; The dough will be kind of hot when kneading; When you are done, your dough should not be sticky and should look grayish).
- Cover the ball of dough with 2 layers of moist paper towels; Leave covered for at least 1 hour; After an hour or so, the dough should have transformed from gray to white; (You can use the wait-time to prepare the next step).
- Have your chopped onions and cooking oil ready in small bowls; Make sure your rolling pin and rolling board are floured; The steps to follow will need to be repeated until all of the ingredients are used up.
- Make a ball of dough 6-10 ounces in volume; (6 ounces will give you a pancake the size of a CD and will allow you to o fry 2-3 of them at the same time;) Make sure you re-cover the bowl each time you remove some dough.
- Use the roller to flatten the ball into a round circle 2-mm thick; Sprinkle salt (you decide how much) uniformly over the'circle;' Use the roller to roll the salt crystals into the dough.
- Brush a thin amount of cooking oil uniformly over the circle; Then sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of chopped onion uniformly over the circle; (Read the next step before applying the onions, so as to better understand how much onions to apply).
- Roll the circle into a cylinder; (If you put too much onion, it won't roll well) Gently squeeze as much air out of the'cylinder' as you can; Pinch the ends so the onions wont fall out; (If the sides of your cylinder start popping holes, you made the circle too thin, but don't worry).
- Roll the cylinder along the length and tuck the outer-end into the roll; Your creation should look like a snail shell and be shaped like a rollerskate wheel.
- Rest the'wheel' on its face and use your roller to flatten it into a pancake, around 4-5 mm thick; Don't be worried if onions start spilling out when you flatten.
- Brush your frying pan with cooking oil and fry on low heat; Turn when the bottom is crispy; The final pancake should be crispy on the outside, with a few burn spots on the surface, and dense and chewy on the inside.
- I recommend tasting the first one to decide if you want to add more salt or onion, or if you want to make the pancake thicker or thinner.
