This pancake capitalizes on the age old technique of creating multiple layers of thin dough surfaced with fat. In this case, a plain dumpling dough is coated with sesame oil, sprinkled with green onions, and then rolled into a coil that is then flattened into a pancake. It is easy and fun. Enjoy!
Makes enough for 2 pancakes
