Dough

• 3 1/3cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups warm water
• 1/4 cup shortening or cooking oil
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 cup chopped green onions
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons chopped green onions
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon chili sauce

Method

1. Place flour in a bowl. Add water, stirring with chopsticks or a fork, until dough holds together. On a lightly floured board, knead dough until smooth and satiny, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
2. Combine dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
3. On a lightly floured board, roll dough into a cylinder, then cut into 12 portions. To make each cake, roll a portion of dough to make an 8-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick; keep remaining dough covered to prevent drying. Brush with shortening. Sprinkle sesame oil, green onions, salt, and pepper on top. Roll dough into a cylinder and coil dough into a round patty; tuck end of dough underneath. Roll again to make an 8-inch circle about 1/8-inch think.
4. Place a 10-inch frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil, swirling to coat sides. Add a cake and cook until golden brown on each side, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Add more oil as needed, swirling to coat sides. Repeat with remaining cakes.
5. Cut cakes into wedges and serve hot with dipping sauce on the side.
