1 cup all-purpose flour, unsifted
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup boiling water
oil
2 whole green onions, thinly sliced
About 3 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 Tbsp oil
In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Mix in water with a fork or chopsticks until dough is evenly moistened and begins to hold together. On a lightly floured board, knead dough until smooth and satiny (about 3 minutes). Cover dough and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
On a lightly floured board, roll dough into a rectangle 8 by 16 inches. To shape, 1. cut dough crosswise in eight 2-inch-wide strips. Brush each strip with 1/2 tsp oil, then sprinkle almost to the edges with bacon and green onion. 2. Starting with a short end, roll up each strip jelly roll style; pinch seam across top to seal. 3. Stand roll on a wok surface. Flatten into a circle with your palm. 4 Roll circle into a disk about 4 inches in diameter. If filling begins to come out, press back into dough. Sprinkle about 1/2 tsp sesame seeds on each side of circle and lightly press into dough. At this point you can stack rounds (separate with sheets of wax paper), cover and chill for up to 8 hours.
In a wide frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook several cakes at a time until golden brown (about 2 to 3 minutes on a side). Serve hot. Makes 8.
Remember, don't knead the dough too long. Let me know how the cakes turn out! :)
