scallion pancake

Chinese onion flatbread

A scallion pancake is a savory Chinese flatbread made by folding chopped scallions into an unleavened dough, then pan-frying until crispy and golden.

The layered dough creates a flaky texture.

Served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, often with dipping sauce: We ordered scallion pancakes while waiting for the main course.
