One serving has 263 kcal and 6 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of thiamin (43%), selenium (37%), riboflavin (27%), folate (27%), niacin (25%) and manganese (23%). Ready in 30 minutes.
- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (101 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten, sesame
Ingredients
- 60 g Flour, all-purpose
- 35 g Water
- 5 g Sesame oil
- 0.5 g Salt
Method
- Pour the boiling water into the flour and salt, stirring quickly with chopsticks, then knead once cool enough to handle into a smooth dough; cover and rest for 20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small balls, flatten two into discs, brush one with the sesame oil, and stack the other on top.
- Roll the stacked pair together into a thin, wide pancake; repeat with the remaining dough.
- Cook each stacked pancake in a dry, ungreased pan over medium heat for 1 minute per side until small bubbles appear and light brown spots form.
- While still hot, peel the two layers apart into two thin pancakes; stack and cover with a cloth to keep warm and soft. This makes about 4 pancakes (1 portion); multiply the ingredients for more.
