We had these beef rolls in Taiwan that were so good that my brother wanted two more orders! The idea is very simple, take a scallion pancake, lather down some hoisin sauce and wrap it in sliced beef with some thinly sliced scallions or cucumbers. DELICIOUS!

Here’s the recipe I use for scallion pancake:

1/2 c boiling water

3 t cold water

1 1/2 c of all purpose flour 

4 scallions thinly sliced and chopped

salt to taste

1/3 c canola oil

1. Take the boiling water and pour it into the flour and mix until well incorporated. 
2. Pour in the cold water to stop whatever the hot water is doing to the flour. I don’t know the science but it does something!
3. Flour your kneading surface and your hands and begin kneading the dough for about 5 minutes or until its smooth and satiny
4. Put your ball of dough back into the bowl you mixed it in and cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap for about 30 min.
5. Knead the dough again for about 5 min.
6. Once it’s nice and smooth feeling cut the dough into four equal chunks
7. Use your palms to roll each chunk into a round ball
8. Put three balls back into your bowl and cover with damp towel or plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out
9. With the fourth ball, roll it out into a thin circle and dust your board and rolling pin with flour as necessary
10. Once you’ve rolled it out, drizzle oil over the entire piece of dough. 
11. Then sprinkle scallions over the dough
12. Salt the dough
13. Now roll the dough up like a cigar
14. Then roll the dough again into a cinnamon roll like shape
15. Use your rolling pin again the flatten out the cinnamon roll shape into a pancake (This is how you get those flaky layers)
16. Pour some oil into a frying pan and put the pancake in it. The oil should have been heated for 20 seconds on high heat. Once you’ve put the pancake in, reduce heat the medium. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and then flip it the the other side and wait for the other side to turn golden brown
17. Slice marinated beef very thin 
18. Spread hoisin sauce on scallion pancake
19. Layer the beef on and put in single strand of sliced scallions or cucumbers
20. Roll it up! and slice into three or four portions on the bias
21. LETS EAT!
