Recipe 🍳
- Trim the root ends of the scallions and finely chop them.

Cooking tips 💡
- All-purpose or bread flour works better than strong flour for easier shaping due to less elasticity.
- Using pork fat (lard) instead of regular cooking oil is essential for achieving the signature rich aroma and flaky pastry texture.
- Always cook over low heat to ensure even, gentle cooking throughout the pancake.
