Stuffed Chinese Flatbread | Pancake

This Stuffed Chinese Flatbread | Pancake recipe is a perfect fit for lockdown/quarantine because it is quick, easy and delicious. Like many traditional Chinese homecooking recipes, this dish only requires frugal and simple ingredients that are always within reach.

Ingredients:

Dough:
300g All Purpose Flour
150 - 200mL of hot water
Pinch of Salt
1 Tbsp - Fine Diced Green onion

Stuffing:
2 Cups - Diced Cooked meat or 1/2 Pound of Raw ground Meat of choice
4 - Shallots thinly sliced
1 - Carrot finely diced
5 - Cloves of Garlic Minced
1 Tbsp - Soy Sauce
1/2 Tsp - Table Sugar
1/4 Tsp - Ground Sichuan Peppercorn
1 Tbsp - Sesame Seeds


Instructions:
1. First, make the dough. Mix all dry ingredients together and start by adding 150ml of water and adjust depending on flour and elevation and atmosphere. Add enough water to create a smooth and nonsticky doough. Cover with damp cloth and allow to rest for an hour.

2. Prep all ingredients. If using raw ground meats, you can spread in raw directly into the dough when rolling. If using leftovers, like me, I'm using leftover kebabs, diced them finely. Large pieces can pierce the dough when rolling.

3. Stir fry the aromatics together with cooked meat. My kebabs were already very flavorful, so I used minimal spices to balance out the flavor. Add whatever spices you need to get the flavor you want.

4. Divide well rest dough into 6-7 portions and roll them into long pieces. Dimension around 2.5-3 inches wide by 5-6 inches long. Spread the stuffing mixture thinly and leave a half an inch border all around to allow space to close the roll up.

5. Roll them into cylinder shape and pinch ends closed. Stand it up and smoosh it down into a pancake shape. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top and give it another gentle smoosh to set the seeds.

6. Get 1/2 cup to 1 cup of neutral flavor oil to 300 degree F. Fry stuffed flatbread 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Don't worry if the insides are fully cooked through. Don't burn them. We can always pop into 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes to cook through without the flatbreads being burnt.

7. Serve stuffed flatbread | Pancake with fresh scallions, chili oil, Chinese black vinegar or whatever tickles your fancy!
