- 2 cup unshifted all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup water , 1/2 hot boiling water + 1/4 cold water
- 1 tbsp. vegetable cooking oil
- 1 tbsp. cooking oil
- 2 cup chopped scallion , use green part only
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. Chinese five spice powder
- 1 tbsp. light soy sauce
- 1 tsp. oyster sauce , optional
- 1/2 tbsp. sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. chili oil
- chopped green onion and coriander
-
Mix salt with all purpose flour.
-
Prepare a large mixing bowl. Dig a small hole in center and then pour the hot water in. Wait for 10 minutes and then stir in the cold water and vegetable oil. Grasp everything to form a ball, cover and rest for 5 minutes and then knead until very smooth (around 3-5 minutes ). The dough should be quite soft. Cover the rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
-
After resting, the dough should be quite easy to roll out. Divide the large dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a large around circle. Brush some oil, sprinkle Chinese five spice power and chopped scallion (leave the 1 cm of the edge empty).
-
Roll up the circle into a cylinder. And further roll into the shape of a snail. Cover with wet cloth and rest for 10 to 15 minutes.Roll the snail out to another thin circle.
-
Brush some cooking oil on the pan and move the circle into the pan. Use middle fire to pan-fry until the surface becomes brown around 2-3 minutes. And turn over to fry for another 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spatula to press the circle from time and time especially the central part to ensure the circle is evenly fried.
-
Remove the circle out and cut into wedges.
- For a softer texture, add slightly more water.
- If you need to add the amount, during the process of making the circle, do cover the rest of dough with a wet cloth so that the dough will not be too dry.
