I made these in Indonesia, among other things, because vegan food was limited, as were the ingredients I could recognize at the grocery store. After 6 weeks I was pretty tired of Gado Gado. While I was taking a taxi to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for this, I found 1,050,000 rupiah ($110) that I got to keep because no one claimed it after I reported it to the cab company...
The recipe is from apartmenttherapy.com
Ingredients:
-white flour
-hot water
-chopped green onions
-salt
-oil
Mix flour and water in a 5:2 ratio to make a basic dough. 2.5 cups flour/1 cup water is good for about 3-4 people as an appetizer. Hot water (like close to boiling, or even boiling) will facilitate chewier pancakes. roll dough into a ball and coat in some oil. Cover with a damp towel, and allow dough to rest for about 30 minutes. Then, roll the doughball out flat and sprinkle it with green onions and salt. I haven't gotten the green onion amount down to science yet, but use an amount based on how much you like green onions.
Roll the pancake sprinkled with onions up like a snake. This way, the onions are on the inside, which makes frying them up easier/the onions don't fall out or get burned. Cut the snake into 6-8 pieces (if you used 2.5 c flour). Cut them into smaller pieces if you only have a small fry pan, larger if you have a larger one. Heat up a skillet and put some olive oil in it, and roll out the small pieces until they are about 1/3 inch thick (like pita bread thickness). Fry on both sides for about 2 minutes, until brown.
Serve with a dipping sauce. I use soy sauce with lime juice, fresh grated ginger, rice vinegar, and a bit of water just because it was what I had around, but really any "asian themed" dipping sauce would be delicious. Or, honestly, hummus (since I put that on everything).
I've relocated back home to Detroit and I'm unemployed and bored out of my mind, so I'll likely start posting more on here. Unless I get a job. If you need a women's health nurse practitioner in Detroit, call me.
