Chinese Green Onion Cake, also known as Cong You Bing, dates back so long ago that many historians cannot agree on where it was created. Its origins have passed into myth, folklore, and guesswork. It’s impossible to be certain where it was first created, but many of these tales point to Shanghai in northeastern China.
Roll each portion into a large pancake, approximately 5 inches in diameter. Add 3 tablespoons of oil into a hot pan and fry the Green Onion Cakes until golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes). Turn over so both sides of the pancake are golden brown. In a medium sized bowl whisk dipping sauce ingredients together.
Also, it is called cong you bing in Mandarin Chinese and literally translates as scallion oil pancake or green onion oil pancake. Although it is called pancake, this Chinese green onion pancake is different from western pancakes that are made from a dough instead of a batter. For example this Chinese pan fry pancake recipe.
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.
