It's so refreshing to see a recipe video where there's flour and pans everywhere, because that's how I cook. I hate videos where everything is perfectly measured into neat little bowls, everything perfectly clean. I cook with CHAOS DAMMIT!!! LOLOLOL
I remember when studying abroad in Taiwan, the scallion pancake shop near my university offers a lot of additional for it (From veggies, tuna, bacon, cheese, etc) even laced it with eggs so u need two pan, one for eggs and one for pancake dough one the pancake is done, u pour eggs and add the additional of your choice while the eggs is half done, close it with pancake, wait a while and flip it BEST FOOD EVER!
Guys! You can lessen the ingredients if these are too much. The ratio of flour to water is 2:1, so if you only want to make two pancakes (for about 1/2 people), put 2 cups flour and 1 cup warm water. The rest is is easy. The amount of scallions is up to you
TheLychie How much water does he use haha because he said 3 cups of cold water 1/3 cups of boiling water...moments later he said 2/3 cup cold water 1/3 cup boiling water enlightened me please haha for 6 cups of flour
so i'm a freshman in college in a city with barely any chinese influence and i'm honestly craaaaving these scallion pancakes. oh god here goes my first kitchen experiment.
It's the most perfect recipe for broke college students because it's so cheap to make, you don't even need eggs and technically you could grow your own scallions
Food Network doesn't like minorities: they've had a few minority chefs but their shows were axed faster than fire wood. Mike is on UA-cam and that is great enough because his Mike-isms and personality is loved here.
That looks so much better than the only time I've had one at a hot pot place in Austin. It was thick, tough, oily, and not very flavorful. I'm definitely going to try your recipe. Thanks Mike!
I stumbled upon this channel and I'm surprised it's not as popular as other food reviewers. This channel is an A+ to me. Hope you guys get more recognized you deserve it.
My son yelled in my ear this entire video, "He is wearing minions!" The scallion pancake looks amazing! I can't wait to try this recipe. I love your videos! Your videos are always funny, entertaining, and enlightening into your culture.
I love scallion pancakes. Once I bought one off a street vendor in NYC chinatown and it was heaven !!! so delicious !!!! I have been looking for him ever since but he has disappeared !!!
there is already! i wanna share this picture of myself staring in awe to a 6 pound sandwich resting in 2 pound french fries. good times. edit: ok, i take that back cause the fanpage is all on mike. nothing against that, but i also wanna hang out with my food people! let me know if you make this come true.
Was suggested one of your videos and I am now subscribed! All these look and sound amazing! Also your videos where you make pho and pork buns are great. You need more subscribers!💜💜💜💜
the aroma when making these, smells so delicious. I've never eat these before Intel I cook them today. lol I will be cooking alot more they where delicious :)
I love scallion pancakes! My mom used to make them when I was a kid. She used a lot more oil to kinda deep fry them tho. To me scallions, bacon AND cheese is the best combo *_* but dried shrimps are good too!
When I've made scallion pancakes before, I just used my bread machine & prepped real bread dough (with yeast) & then rolled the crap out of the dough (wrists = OW!!). It makes for scallion pancakes fluffy in the middle crisp on the outside. They are thicker but fluffier than traditional ones like this - I think I'll try this kind next time b/c I can't handle the wrist pain anymore. BTW, I think you should include the Chinese for your recipes, for those studying or curious. These are 葱油饼 or 蔥油餅 in Traditional pronounced: cóngyóubǐng.
i agree, most of celebrity chef in food network even chinese chef tend to fail at cooking chinese food. Seriously get someone with real street cred in cooking chinese food.
You are reading my mind :) I had no idea what scallion pancakes were, but once I saw your first scallion pancake, the first thing I thought was to add "duvan čvarci" into it (apparently, you have the same thing, but call it rousong). The second idea was cheese. I'll definitely try this once there are young onions on the markets (so in a month or two).
Mike, I love all the recipes you've shared on your channel! Being born in Taiwan but I really miss all the authentic foods from there and since my Mom is no longer living, I've been craving all the foods from Taiwan! Please keep it up!!!
Mikey, you deserve an award for this video!!! It was Hilarious , Exponentially!!!! I laughed throughout the entire video (when I wasn't salvating!). I just hope you don't forget the youtubers when you get your own show :o)! May the good Lord bless you and your good work!!
Oh my goodness I love you. When you said to share them, I imagined Oprah running around saying "You get a pancake! You get a pancake too! And so do you!"
Ooohhhhh myyyyyy !!! this video was amazing !!!! my mouth is watering right now heheh !!! Scallion pancakes used to be one of my favorite things to eat when I lived in Asia, i missed them so much ! I learned how to make Jian Bing myself because I missed it so much, but I always thought that scallion pancakes took too much time to make. Because of the fluffiness, I thought it was like puff pastry, that you had to roll it and fold it many many times ! You actually revealed the mystery with this great video :D Thank you so much ! I am definitely going to try and make some for my friends. Btw, LOVE your humor and personality ! You always make me smile and laugh !
Strictly Dumpling it was great ! we ate allllll the time. Lots and lots of meat, sausages, hams... ! I made an article on my blog but the photos weren't that appetizing so I didn't instagram them. Hahah !!!
Hi Mike, just wanted to let you know I love you and your channel immensely! I just made these and they were fantastic! Sometimes I find that in restaurants they can be very oily, too oily. But these ones I made (while watching your video) were great, thanks so much! I also wanted to say that I, too, used my horse stance when kneeding the dough, haha, after ten years practicing Xing Yi Quan, it's sort of natural to use it. I think it helped ;) Take care, can't wait for more videos! :)
This type of flat bread exists in many culture with variation of types of filling and sometimes none. In Indian, it made plain to eat with curry. In Turkish, it made with sesame paste. It is pretty amazing how food similar in various culture. Experiment and have fun! Your video is fun to watch.
This is seriously the best ! Thank you for introducing me to so many Chinese foods. I can't find any restaurants that make non-NYChinese food, so cooking is how I've been trying new things !
Working with the dough was a pain in the ass but damn Mike, you didn't promise too much! The pancakes taste too good. I was planing on giving some to my friends but i couldn't stop eating them...although I need to massage them more next time for ultimate fluffiness
Very similar to the way I make onion pancakes...except I use sesame oil AND toasted sesame seeds in the pancake before I roll it up. For my sauce I just mix light soy, black vinegar, chopped dried chills and LOTS of fresh sliced ginger. One of my favorite comfort foods, thanks for sharing!
Dear Mike, Thank you for this recipe. It is just like the pancakes my husband and I used to get from a great restaurant where we had our first date. Sadly the place suffered a fire and never reopened. My husband has given me the challenge of recreating his favorite meals from this restaurant. I was curious if you knew of a dish called that was named Chicken three ways. It included a chicken stir fry with vegetables and white sauce. A fried chicken similar to General Tso or sesame and finally a dish called Scallion Chicken. I cannot figure out how to make the scallion chicken. The best way I can describe it is a pounded and breaded cutlet which after fried is then sliced and served with a thick brown sauce and sliced scallions on top. Knowing that you are a fellow foodie, I was hoping you could lend any suggestions to recreation of this amazing meal.
We're a proud Amerasian Family that LOVES scallion pancakes...They go with anything & everything...Sometimes I'll add black sesame seeds, few drops sesame seed oil & a little cilantro...BTW Mike...I think you're an absolute DOLL... : )
After watching a couple of your videos where you work with dough I would like to make a suggestion; place a couple of damp paper towels under your cutting board to keep it from sliding around. You could also use this stuff that comes in a roll that is used to line drawers with to keep things from sliding. I love your videos and can't wait to make this one.
The only thing better than your cooking videos is watching you react when you eat! Also: What about spreading hot oil on the pancake instead of regular vegetable oil?
Hey Mike, thanks for the recipe. You ever feel out of place? I'm sure everyone has. Well that's me at the breakfast table when North American pancakes are being served! Can't stand them. OK if I was starving. So one day about 25yrs ago I thought of putting onions in my pancake mix and I was the laugh of the times. I swear people in my neighborhood of friends laughed so hard for at least 5 yrs. So now I can call on them with some Chinese scallion pancakes!!! Thanks Mike, I knew I was on to something back then. Be Excellent!...Bud AFEX
I just made these scallion cakes and my wife and I thought there are wonderful , we just want to say we are grateful you shred your recipe Thank you again
Man your food channel is great! Living in India, I've had loads of Chinese food, but it was the Indianized version, developed completely here. I've not tried a lot of authentic Chinese food, but now I can't wait :D
I've used this recipe and added sliced lap cheung; also good!! I always have to refer back to this video to get the ratios right. So great to watch. Thanks mike!!
Actually, if you wanted a relaxed dough, you should knead it as little as possible. Kneading for 10 minutes is normal. But dough gets tough if overworked.
Cardinal thunder my grandmother used to the knead the dough for 30 minutes. She used to sing devotional songs and she had a set list at end if which she would stop kneading . The dough used to be fluffy and the rotis/chapatties she made had layers and were silky soft and remained so for 2 days. She used to say more you knead the better. It was when I watched westernrecipes especially pie recipes I was surprised that you should not knead it.
Strictly Dumpling, Off the Great Wall, and the Double Chen show have eaten many an hour for me in a great past time.. Not to mention the time I've spent recreating and playing with recipes!! :)
One combo you have to try for this is spinach and FETA cheese! Just do the spinach in a pan so it "wilts" and cooks first, then sprinkle it on the pancake together with your spinach. I am sure it will be great with the scallions too, but it is not necessary, just spinach and feta is a great flavor as is! i love this in turkish børek, in small pastry pockets and in pies, it is just so yummy. But you don't need salt on your pancake, I don't think, the feta will make it more than salty enough... I was just sitting here watching your videos while waiting on a customer support on live chat. After half an hour, I am now starving, so think I will have to take a break and cook a little, can't wait for pancakes though, think I will go for tortellini, LOL! :)
My thought exactly, watched a lot of paratha vids a while ago... seems a bit time consuming compared to the pancakes I am used to (crepe type mostly and lately a lot of chickpea pancakes)... Wonder if you could make these with chickpea flour too... :)
Thank you soooo much for this video. I ate these a few times when I was in Taiwan, and ever since I got back I had been yearning to eat them again(they don't sell them where I live), but I didn't even know what they were called so couldn't look up a recipe, then I came across your awesome channel, and for my surprise this awesome video, now we've been making them like all the time
Mike, you are adorable! There is nothing more enjoyable than watching someone do something that they genuinely enjoy, thanks for this video, I agree with everyone who said you need to be on FN 🍴💚🌎!
I am so making these tomorrow. I'll try using chives instead because I have no spring onions/scallions right now. I am gonna need to buy pork floss again, and try not to eat it all before I use it for the pancakes haha *btw* you have a new sub
I've been going through all the cooking videos you've uploaded onto here, and omg everything is so simple and tasty-looking. And you're so fun to watch and you're pretty good at explaining things. Love how much you enjoy food, it shows in these videos! Keep it up, Mike! :D
This is basically the Chinese version of our roti. XD My grandmother makes roti in basically the same way, just without the scallions/salt. THIS LOOKS SO GOOD THOUGH, I MUST TRY!
Seriously watched this 3 times just now. . I'm totally going to make this for my family! And MAYBE some friends... Cuz Scallion Pancakes reconnects friends 😁 love your humor and passion for food! Hawwwt 😉
do you know a better thing instead of putting sunflower oil inside the pancake put HOT OIL instead that will be a delicious pancake Mike trust me you will love it
You are my hero! I've been looking for those since I left Xiamen and Beijing :D Love your channel because I find almost all the genuine Chinese dishes I love so much! Tks a lot
I'm too lazy to knead 6 cups of flour and quite honestly, I probably don't have enough counter space. I think I'll just roll out some popping fresh dough and squeeze in the bacon and scallions. Yum. Authentic Pillsbury Popin' Fresh Chinese pancakes.
Hey, I did it! They came out GREAT! Thank you for sharing such a delicious recipe...I can NOT stop making these for my family & friends (just like you warned us). lol I made some the "BACON-SCALLION-THIN POTATO-CHEESE" pancakes with some shredded cheddar cheese. I did have to gently "pre-cooked" the potato...then let cool, then slice thinly (like scallop/au gratin style) then I added the scallions (as directed), along with the rest of the ingredients & of course, the sliced "pre-cook, preseasoned" POTATOES! So GOOD!!! I'm looking forward to "trying" all the other ones you spoke of...this is so much FUN! ;-D YOU SUPER ROCK!!!!
3 cups of cold water one and a third cup of boiling water so... 4 and a third cups of room temperature water? 2:11 anyone care to explain the difference? Maybe throw some science in there to help me understand?
Cold water prevents the premature denaturing of the proteins in the flour, leading to a less dense dough as it rests. In essence you're cooking your mixture as you form it with hot water, which is sometimes desired. His mixture of cold and boiling water helps created lukewarm water which is usually most desired when working with dough. It really comes down to what mouth feel your aiming for, for example you were making something like ciabatta rolls, you'd use hot water in order to reach the desired texture.
+Tim Lim so why not just use warm water? why hot + cold?. that's just an unecessary complication. why not just specify a temperature? afterall, everyones "cold" water is a different temperature.
How much water does he use haha because he said 3 cups of cold water 1/3 cups of boiling water...moments later he said 2/3 cup cold water 1/3 cup boiling water enlightened me please haha

YEEEEEEESSSSS TELL THEM !!! ME TOO
I remember when studying abroad in Taiwan,
the scallion pancake shop near my university offers a lot of additional for it (From veggies, tuna, bacon, cheese, etc)
even laced it with eggs
so u need two pan, one for eggs and one for pancake dough
one the pancake is done, u pour eggs and add the additional of your choice
while the eggs is half done, close it with pancake, wait a while and flip it

I tried this today with a friend! It was really good. Thank you so much for posting this! I put in nutritional yeast and sesame seeds! Fantastic.
I hope my future wife loves me like Mike loves food.
Where did you get that context from my comment?
I was going to say I want a love as strong as Mike's love for food.
Total life goals right there
lmao
hahaha
Mike needs a Food Network show.
Christopher Johnson He deserves a spot

Hullo? Anyone watching this in 2020, like me, and thinking just how far has Mikey come since this small kitchen? :D
So true! 😁
What I see is he improved his video production A LOT, but he is still the same Mikey and that is really nice.
Yes! Still love him
awesome tv ; so funny but instructive too w yr enthusiasm 🤣 keep it up,learning so much
Yup
I love scallion pancakes. Once I bought one off a street vendor in NYC chinatown and it was heaven !!! so delicious !!!! I have been looking for him ever since but he has disappeared !!!
food makes me so, so, so, so happy. if someone is into food like me, that´s an instant bonding moment.
We should be best friends.
I'm a stagiaire and a foodie. We can definitely be friends.
we could start a fan page of Mikes and all be like foodies pen pals

I made mason jars of canard confit last fall. With shallots, cook in butter, I'm pretty sure it will be nice. See it as a french twist to your recipe.

I'm Korean and I love making them. You can make different variations of them. I like Kim chee pancakes. But the scallion is my favorite!

If mike had a restaurant I would definitely go there everyday
And my recommendation would be the bacon scallion pancake 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Me too....I'd gain weight like hell.
After watching a couple of your videos where you work with dough I would like to make a suggestion; place a couple of damp paper towels under your cutting board to keep it from sliding around. You could also use this stuff that comes in a roll that is used to line drawers with to keep things from sliding.

I've used this recipe and added sliced lap cheung; also good!! I always have to refer back to this video to get the ratios right. So great to watch. Thanks mike!!
Actually, if you wanted a relaxed dough, you should knead it as little as possible. Kneading for 10 minutes is normal. But dough gets tough if overworked.
Cardinal thunder my grandmother used to the knead the dough for 30 minutes. She used to sing devotional songs and she had a set list at end if which she would stop kneading . The dough used to be fluffy and the rotis/chapatties she made had layers and were silky soft and remained so for 2 days. She used to say more you knead the better. It was when I watched westernrecipes especially pie recipes I was surprised that you should not knead it.
they look sooooo good!! I think you should try bacon and shredded cheese next. it's like a chinese pizza!
Thanks for this recipe! I love strictly dumpling
Off the great wall!!
Carlo Enad thanks :-)
Strictly Dumpling, Off the Great Wall, and the Double Chen show have eaten many an hour for me in a great past time.. Not to mention the time I've spent recreating and playing with recipes!! :)
Leslie Johnson double Chen show??
Leslie Johnson There was a time when I was ready for bed and was just watching their videos and next thing I know it was like 3am!
One combo you have to try for this is spinach and FETA cheese! Just do the spinach in a pan so it "wilts" and cooks first, then sprinkle it on the pancake together with your spinach. I am sure it will be great with the scallions too, but it is not necessary, just spinach and feta is a great flavor as is! i love this in turkish børek, in small pastry pockets and in pies, it is just so yummy. But you don't need salt on your pancake, I don't think, the feta will make it more than salty enough... I was just sitting here watching your videos while waiting on a customer support on live chat. After half an hour, I am now starving, so think I will have to take a break and cook a little, can't wait for pancakes though, think I will go for tortellini, LOL! :)
Haha 00:42 “very Asians" 😋
Looks good!! Ive used chopped onions before instead of scallions when i ran out. The flavour profile is rather similar.
This is very similar to making a Indian Paratha only with white flour
exactly
oh yeah
Yeah though the Indian version is better :-) enjoy
My thought exactly, watched a lot of paratha vids a while ago... seems a bit time consuming compared to the pancakes I am used to (crepe type mostly and lately a lot of chickpea pancakes)... Wonder if you could make these with chickpea flour too... :)
Yes Lotta you can..Go for it :-)
Thank you soooo much for this video. I ate these a few times when I was in Taiwan, and ever since I got back I had been yearning to eat them again(they don't sell them where I live), but I didn't even know what they were called so couldn't look up a recipe, then I came across your awesome channel, and for my surprise this awesome video, now we've been making them like all the time
when you said "guess what im going to add" i was "hot oil!" ahahahha
Mike, combine all three in the scallion pancake... Bacon + Rou Song + Cheese = Super Chinese Pancake!!!
U flip the pancake better than I do so don't sell yourself short. If it was me then there pancakes would be on the floor or sticking to the ceiling.
Lem Not there pancakes? Busha Not their pancakes? No way Lemi San. My pancakes! HoHo!
I'ts all about rotation.
Hello, I am a Korean cooking UA-camr.There is also a scallion in Korea, so it's nice to see the recipe!^^
I love his facial expressions XD
These look so good I can smell them practically. I'm studying for finals for my first year in college and all I want is homemade scallion pancakes.
Awesome recipe! Thanks!
Haha! By far one of the funniest cooking videos I've seen. I couldn't help but smile or laugh here and there :)
OMG you have a cooking channel with simple recipes that I can make in a college kitchen ! *clicks subscribe*

Such enthusiasm, which is sadly lacking nowadays, enjoy your pancakes :-)
i made these with scallions. omg so good. a lot of work but totally worth it, so yummy, so addictive make a double recipe.

Healthy Hairstyles thanks for watching :-)
Coming from a fellow foodie, I love your passion for food. Absolutely enjoy your videos of you eating out as well as you cooking at home.
ldeap3 thanks :-)
I am so making these tomorrow. I'll try using chives instead because I have no spring onions/scallions right now.
I am gonna need to buy pork floss again, and try not to eat it all before I use it for the pancakes haha
*btw* you have a new sub
Alana Laverty nice! thanks for watching!!!
Strictly Dumpling any time!
I've been going through all the cooking videos you've uploaded onto here, and omg everything is so simple and tasty-looking. And you're so fun to watch and you're pretty good at explaining things. Love how much you enjoy food, it shows in these videos! Keep it up, Mike! :D
snoozleblob Thanks :-)
Wtf he didn't dip it in hot oil?
18:37
Seriously!! why are these so addictive!? don't underestimate this savory pancake.
Brothers Green would love to eat your pancake lol. It would be cool if you guys would colab
Gotta do this with cheese.... my little girl's favourite! thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed your video!!!
I love how he overdose his reactions whenever he takes a bite
This is basically the Chinese version of our roti. XD My grandmother makes roti in basically the same way, just without the scallions/salt. THIS LOOKS SO GOOD THOUGH, I MUST TRY!
BRO!!
Scallion Pancake pizza! use the scallion pancake as crust
oh one more! Scallion pancake taco!!
am i a genius or what?
Yassss
Have you tried it? Success?
You are
Seriously watched this 3 times just now. . I'm totally going to make this for my family! And MAYBE some friends... Cuz Scallion Pancakes reconnects friends 😁 love your humor and passion for food! Hawwwt 😉
do you know a better thing instead of putting sunflower oil inside the pancake put HOT OIL instead that will be a delicious pancake
Mike trust me you will love it
Phillip Ho really? lol sounds right up my alley
You are my hero! I've been looking for those since I left Xiamen and Beijing :D Love your channel because I find almost all the genuine Chinese dishes I love so much! Tks a lot
just commented so the number wont be 666
At first I thought --- meat floss??!😖. But I looked it up. It's sounds really good! I l love this vid!!!
This is like prantha in India.you can also put boiled potatoes or cauliflower with some salt and chilli powder.
+milandeep singh then it wouldn't be chinese scallion pancakes
milandeep singh ...we also use a flat surface..but you are right it is almost a paratha..we need some chutney😏
I love parathas. And all Indian breads.
We all human, food is similar to each other. Both Chinese and Indian are eat rich, right?
Love your enthusiasm bro keep it up
somehow you look like Jackie Chan
Jennifer Teow yea?
Strictly Dumpling Oh yes :)
That's right :D Strictly Dumpling you're so funny i really like your videos (y)
Mike! You are amazing!!! That scallion pancake looked so good!!! My dad use to make these from scratch too!!! 😋
I'm too lazy to knead 6 cups of flour and quite honestly, I probably don't have enough counter space. I think I'll just roll out some popping fresh dough and squeeze in the bacon and scallions. Yum. Authentic Pillsbury Popin' Fresh Chinese pancakes.
Louie Kaboom fuckyou
Hey, I did it! They came out GREAT! Thank you for sharing such a delicious recipe...I can NOT stop making these for my family & friends (just like you warned us). lol
I made some the "BACON-SCALLION-THIN POTATO-CHEESE" pancakes with some shredded cheddar cheese.
I did have to gently "pre-cooked" the potato...then let cool, then slice thinly (like scallop/au gratin style) then I added the scallions (as directed), along with the rest of the ingredients & of course, the sliced "pre-cook, preseasoned" POTATOES! So GOOD!!!
I'm looking forward to "trying" all the other ones you spoke of...this is so much FUN! ;-D
YOU SUPER ROCK!!!!
3 cups of cold water one and a third cup of boiling water so... 4 and a third cups of room temperature water? 2:11 anyone care to explain the difference? Maybe throw some science in there to help me understand?
Ginger Troy It's called shocking, just like when you make Hainan Chicken, you cook it hot, then you put it in cold water fast and serve.
+Ginger Troy it should just be hot water. entertaining...but not educational.
Cold water prevents the premature denaturing of the proteins in the flour, leading to a less dense dough as it rests. In essence you're cooking your mixture as you form it with hot water, which is sometimes desired. His mixture of cold and boiling water helps created lukewarm water which is usually most desired when working with dough. It really comes down to what mouth feel your aiming for, for example you were making something like ciabatta rolls, you'd use hot water in order to reach the desired texture.
+Tim Lim so why not just use warm water? why hot + cold?. that's just an unecessary complication. why not just specify a temperature? afterall, everyones "cold" water is a different temperature.
I just made this recipe with scallions only and it is so good. Thank you Mike!!
how much flour did you use?
btw he uses about 6 cups of all purpose flour
why is this kid replying himself
ginson1012 because I found the answer and I thought it'd be helpful for other people lol
How much water does he use haha because he said 3 cups of cold water 1/3 cups of boiling water...moments later he said 2/3 cup cold water 1/3 cup boiling water enlightened me please haha
