MAKE IT SHINE!

I love these cakes. I serve them with wonton soup or use them as an appetizer or a snack with tea. These can be frozen after frying and reheated in a moderate oven for 10 minutes before serving. Another great recipe from my tattered copy of "Madame Wong's Long-Life Chinese Cookbook".

ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 scallions, chopped fine
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
directions
- Put flour on a board; make a well in the center and add the water; mix into a soft, smooth dough and divide into 2 portions.
- Roll each portion very thin.
- Brush each with 1 tablespoon of oil; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt.
- Spread half the scallions evenly on each sheet.
- Roll each portion up like a jelly roll; coil it up so it's lying flat on the board in a spiral.
- Flatten with a rolling pin until it is 7-inches in diameter.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small saute pan; add the cakes, one at a time, and fry 2 minutes on each side.
- Cut each cake into 8 wedges (I use a pizza cutter) and serve.

This is very good but there is WAY too much salt. I find that instead of 2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon is more than enough.Reply
-
i used sesame oil and less than the recommended amount of salt and it was still too salty. also when i coiled it up, i had a hard time getting it to stay when i rolled it out, it would kind of unravel. things i would do next time- use even less salt and use vegetable oil (i don't know what i was thinking to not follow the recipe) to get that flavor that i'm used to. and roll it differently. i was also a little stingy on oil, but i think if i put the given amounts, it would be fairly greasy and exactly what i expect. loved the flakiness.Reply

I made this with sesame oil and lite salt (trying to cut down on sodium) and love the way it came up. Great side dish/appetizer.Reply

I believe this is supposed to be served 'greasy' and not crispy, but I suppose it doesn't matter if you like it crispy.Reply

These turned out nicely flaky, but I wish I had mixed the dough in a bowl; I made a huge mess. They also turned out a bit greasy; I'm not sure why.Reply
