Chinese savoury, non-leavened flatbread folded with oil and minced scallions (green onions)

About this dish

Cong you bing, also known as scallion pancake or green onion pancake, is a Chinese savory flatbread made with wheat dough and minced scallions. The unleavened dough is folded repeatedly into layers, with oil and green onions added between each layer. Then it is pan-fried, which gives it crisp edges and a chewy texture. Many layers make up the interior, contributing to its chewy texture. Variations exist on the basic method of preparation that incorporate other flavors and fillings. Scallion pancakes are served both as a street food item and as a restaurant dish. They are also sold commercially, either fresh or frozen in plastic packages (often in Asian supermarkets).
