Have you in peeking in my kitchen? Actually, what I sometimes do is fold an egg in it. After one side of the pancake is golden, I flip the pancake and crack an egg on the golden side. Then I quickly fold one side of the pancake to the other (forming a semi circle with the egg in between). After both sides of the semi circle are golden, I eat what I like to call the “Taiwanese Green Onion & Egg Sandwich.”

Sorry, Dylan… I stopped measuring this a long time ago. I’ve been eyeballing it for the last 9 years. I’ll try to find the exact measurements for you, but I’m guessing 5 cups flour, 1+1/2 to 2 cups water to start. If it is too moist to knead, keep adding 1/2 cup of flour until it’s just right. If it is too dry, do the same with water. Then the next day, add in as much green onions as you like. I throw in a lot for myself, and only use half a stem for people who aren’t crazy about onions. For the oil, I just keep pouring a bit of olive oil between kneading. The dough should be oily enough that it will leave a slight oil residue on a surface, but not so oily that the dough looks glossy.

I know this isn’t the measurement/break down you’re looking for, but I hope this helps. With about 5 cups of flour, I think you are looking at 2-4 slices of pancakes (depending on how thin you roll the dough out and how wide in diameter you cut the pancakes). Hope this helps at least a little.

Hi Dylan - No, I had too many dishes planned and didn’t get a chance to make the pancakes from scratch. The way I usually make it though is:

I add hot water to flour, mix well, and then let it sit overnight in the fridge. The next day, I would roll the dough out and add the oil, salt, and green onions, re-knead the whole thing, and then roll it out again. Next cut the dough into 3-5 circles and then fry it up on the skillet.

BestofLA - YOU GO!!! Your sushi rolls sound great! Maybe that’ll be my next interactive dinner party. :)

I love interactive meals! Great ideas for the upcoming three-day holiday weekend!

This past weekend, my boyfriend and I made sushi rolls with his family for dinner. There were plates of freshly sliced homegrown cucumbers, sliced avocados, sliced eggs, sprouts, and cuts of cooked ebi (shrimp), maguro (red tuna), shake (salmon), ika (squid), and white tuna. We each filled our nori (seaweed) sheets with sushi rice (mixed w/rice vinegar) and had hand rolls that we could dip in our shoyu with wasabi. I think I may have had at least five or six different rolls!! YUM!
