The TikTok kids are posting pictures of pancakes to overwhelm the #MillionMAGAMarch hashtag. I made scallion pancakes this morning, so here’s my Chinese American contribution! 
Recipe:
2 cups flour (I prefer bread flour)
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup cold water
4 scallions, chopped
6 tbsp vegetable oil (I use peanut but canola is fine)
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil

3/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup cold water

6 tbsp vegetable oil (I use peanut but canola is fine)
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
Instructions:
Mix together flour and salt. Add boiling water and mix until dough is shaggy. Add 1/4 cup cold water and bring dough together. Knead on floured surface around 3 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in bowl and cover with damp towel for 30 minutes. Mix together vegetable oil...
... and sesame oil in small bowl.
Knead dough a few times and then cut in half, roll one half out to the size of your large frying pan. Brush with a bit less than half of the oil mixture, being careful not to go too far to the sides.. Add half of the chopped scallions...

...and roll into a tube, starting at one end of the dough and rolling carefully, not so hard as to squeeze out the oil. Form a coil with the rolled log and then flatten with your palm, then roll out in a lat circle again. There should now be layers of scallions and oil...
...in your dough.
Heat pan on high and brush will a bit of the oil mixture, fry on each side until brown and crispy, a few minutes each side depending on your heat. Sprinkle with more salt if you’d like.

To make a dipping sauce...
... mix a bit of the oil mixture with 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, a pinch of sugar, and some chili oil. I use Laoganma brand roasted chili paste, available on Amazon. The pancakes are delicious without any sauce, too!
