What makes this dish special?
Shattering edges, chewy centers and layers of green onion. A good version is less about extravagance than balance: ingredients stay recognizable and each bite has contrast.
The building blocks are flour, scallions, sesame oil and salt. Keep the preparation simple enough that the main flavors can shine.
How it comes together
Rest the dough; roll thin with oil and scallions; coil and flatten; pan-fry until crisp.

Keep cooking.
Try it alongside a contrasting plate: something fresh, something crisp, or a bowl of simply steamed rice.
