Pan Fried Scallion Chive Bread Chong Yu Bing Recipes

Steps:

• Combine oil and chili oil in a small dish and set aside. Combine scallions, cilantro and chives in another bowl and set aside.
• Combine flour and baking powder in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the flat paddle. With machine running on low speed, add hot and cold water in quick succession. Stop machine as soon as dough comes together in a soft ball. If it's very tacky and sticky, add a bit more flour.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest 15 minutes. (If the dough has been made in a food processor, let rest 40 minutes.) Roll gently into a smooth log. Cut evenly into 4 pieces, then put each piece, cut side down, on the lightly floured board. Cover with plastic wrap.
• Working with a piece at a time, shape dough by rolling into a thin, even circle about 7 ½ inches in diameter. Brush top with a generous film of the oil mixture, then sprinkle evenly with a rounded ¼ teaspoon salt. Heap dough with 2/3 cup of reserved greens, then spread evenly over top. Roll up dough into a fat cylinder - it doesn't need to be too tight. Grasp one end of the dough and wind other end around it in a tight spiral. Tuck tail end underneath and press lightly with your hand to flatten. Gently roll out into a 6-inch circle. Put aside on a freshly floured spot, then repeat with remaining dough.
• Cook breads immediately to prevent a soggy texture. Heat an 8- to 10-inch heavy skillet over high heat until a bead of water evaporates on contact. Add enough oil to glaze bottom by 1/8 inch, swirling to coat; reduce heat to moderate. When oil is hot enough to foam a pinch of flour, add first bread to pan. Cook until bottom is golden and a bit crusty, 3 to 4 minutes. Adjust heat so bread doesn't scorch. Flip and fry until golden, about 3 minutes longer. Remove to paper towel-lined plate. Repeat process with oil and remaining dough.
• Serve breads fresh from skillet, each cut into fourths. Or let cool and hold at room temperature up to 8 hours. Reheat in 350°F oven until hot, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Thoroughly mix butter & cream cheese, add remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Slice bread into 2cm slices without cutting all the way through.
• Spread both sides of each bread slice with butter mixture.
• Wrap in foil and heat through in the oven or on the BBQ for 20-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk together the dipping sauce, making sure the sugar dissolves, and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl.
• Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan.
• Measure out 3/4 cup of water and pour over the flour mixture.
• Mix together with a fork. Add the sesame oil and mix. The dough will be shaggy.
• Add 2 more tablespoons of the remaining hot water. And mix with a wooden spoon until the shabby dough comes together.
• Shape into a mound in the bowl, then transfer to a floured surface. Knead for 7-10 minutes, incorporating more flour as needed, until the dough becomes smooth.
• Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and cover with a towel. Let rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, combine the scallion and chives in a bowl and set aside.
• Flour a surface and shape the dough into a thick log. Cut into 6 portions.
• Work with one portion of dough at a time, keeping the others covered with a damp towel.
• Flatten the dough portion by hand. Use a rolling pin to roll into a very thin rectangle, about 12 x 8 inches, with the long side facing you.
• Brush all over with a thin layer of softened butter. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and about 2 tablespoons of the scallion-chive mixture.
• Tightly roll the dough away from you so you're left with a log. Gently roll the log back and forth on the surface with your hands so that the log has an even thickness throughout.
• Starting at one end, roll the dough into a tight coil, tucking the end piece underneath. This should resemble a cinnamon bun. Then flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with a damp towel.
• Repeat with remaining portions of dough, then let rest at room temperature under the damp towel for 15 minutes.
• Cut 4 small squares of parchment paper and flour a work surface.
• Place a bun onto the floured surface and roll into a 6-1/2 inch round. Place back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and top with a small square of parchment paper. Cover with the damp towel.
• Continue rolling out the remaining dough portions, stacking with parchment squares between dough rounds.
• Heat about 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Transfer to wire rack set inside a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
• Cut each pancake into 4 wedges and serve with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Brush the inside of a heavy pan with olive oil and place over medium-low heat.
• Cut the loaf in half lengthwise, then again crossways into 3 or 4 inch pieces.
• Rub the cut surfaces with the garlic and brush with oil.
• Arrange as many pieces as will fit in the pan, weighing them down with a bacon press.
• Cook about 5 minutes until underside of bread is browned.
• Turn bread and repeat cooking process for another 5 minutes.
• Repeat until all slices are browned.
• Keep warm in the oven on low heat.

Steps:

• Mix together the flour and water until a dough is formed. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for a few minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside for 30 minutes. Divide dough into 4 pieces.
• Roll out the dough to a 1/8 inch thickness. Spread a thin layer of Crisco on the top, sprinkle with salt, and then press a layer of green onions into the dough.
• Roll the pancake like a rug, roll it up like a snail, then roll onto a floured surface to a 1/8 inch thickness, pushing any green onions that escape back into the dough.
• Fry in 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a skillet. Cook for approximately 3 minutes on one side then flip and cook for 2 more minutes before placing the pancake onto a paper towel-lined plate.
• Repeat with remaining quarter dough pieces.
