Scallion Pancakes
Flaky and flavorful, lightly fried scallion pancakes are a savory vehicle for soy sauce and black vinegar, or a delicious snack all on their own. Asia is home to quite a few flatbreads, pancakes, and the like but to my mind (and mouth), only one is habitually craveable. Cong you bing hails from Northern China, though I admit the best versions I’ve ever tasted stateside were in Taiwanese eateries. Cong you bing, aka scallion pancakes, are made with a dough rather than a batter, but with a twist...literally.This recipe first appeared in Season 2 of Good Eats: The Return.
