Green Onion Cakes
- Ready In:
- 2hrs 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
10
ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3⁄4 cup hot water
- 1 cup green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
directions
- Add salt to flour in a mixing bowl and mix throughly.
- Add honey to hot water in a separate cup or dish until the honey melts and mixes with the water.
- Slowly add water/honey mixture into the flour while stirring the flour.
- Knead the mixture until smooth (approximately 5 minutes). If it is too dry add a little extra water. If it is too wet, add a little flour.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- After at least an hour remove mixture and roll into a sausage shape and divide into 10 equal portions. You will work with one cake at a time so cover the others so they don't dry up.
- For each portion of dough, roll into a ball between the palms of your hands, then on a floured surface roll the dough out into a thin round pancake.
- Sprinkle the surface of the dough with green onions.
- Roll the pancake into a sausage shape, trapping all the green onions inside the dough.
- Roll the dough again along the length of the sausage to make a coil shape.
- With the coil still standing up on your counter top flatten it with the palm of your hand (if you flatten it with the coil lying flat on your counter, the onion cake will open up while cooking).
- Roll the dough into a circle about 5 inches in diameter and place to the side while you make the rest of the cakes.
- Heat up the oil in a frying pan or skillet at a medium heat and fry each cake, one side at a time, until it is light brown.
- Cut into quarters and serve with chili garlic dipping sauce.

After 10 years, finally I was thrilled to taste these again. I too lived in Edmonton for 3 years and always remember the 'Taste of Edmonton' festival and these delightful little treats. But for some reason never tried to make them before now. We devoured them. Thanks for the great recipe and the memories it brought back.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm Scottish and have lived in North America for 17 years (8 in Canada, 9 in the USA). I have been 100% vegetarian for the past 6 years, and only ate fish once or twice a month before that for another 8 years or so. Now I'm eating vegan about 80% of the time and always looking to try out new and tasty recipes. I live in Ohio now, and although it is beautiful, one of my pet peeves is the absolutely atrocious food available in restaurants and more specifically the lack of veggie options. When dining with friends I get so mad (inside of course) when they say: "oh look there's a couple of salads you can have". I don't go out to eat salads; I want a meal! Well, this is one of the main reasons I cook so much and enjoy cooking so much too. It is extremely gratifying when I invite people to the house and they enjoy what I make by really diving into the food. I also enjoy gardening, so in the summer I cook and can like crazy preserving tomatoes, cucumbers, tomatillos, peppers, zucchini and lots of herbs.
I am a professor at a local university and love my job. I feel that I get paid to do a hobby. However, I am ultra busy so I like to make things that are quick and simple or things that I can freeze and reheat at a later date.
