Woo Can Cook | The Perfect Green Onion Pancake (Cong You Bing) #recipe #food #cooking

Video Description

Hello! Hi everyone, Wesley here. Today we're diving back into our series dedicated to reproducing foods from my eight day trip traveling through Taipei Taiwan with a return to what I would personally classify as the single most iconic piece of cuisine in Taiwanese street food culture, which is the Taiwanese green onion pancake, or cong you bing. For those keeping track, we have in fact done more than a handful of recipes circling around this dish, including the Taiwan taco, the shanghai scallion pancake, the deep-fried scallion pancake, and a few others. In addition to this (maybe more importantly, too), I personally have been making green onion pancakes since I was literally ten years old. It is actually one of the very first things that I learned how to cook. And to be absolutely honest, I really thought I knew how to make these things. Frankly at face value, they don't appear to be that hard. It's a flour and water based dough, rolled with green onions, flattened, and then fried. That's literally it. BUT. then I went to taiwan. and THEN I ate some of the most beautiful, flakey, and impossibly delicate green onion pancakes that I've ever had, and realized. I have no idea how to create this. So. Here we are, on a quest to create not just ANY green onion pancake, but. THE BEST green onion pancake that has ever rocked my world. And let me tell y'all, it's way more difficult than I thought. Hope you try it.
