directions

  1. Thaw puff pastry according to package instructions.
  2. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a 9"x12" rectangle. Lightly brush with sesame oil, then sprinkle it evenly with the chopped scallions, sesame seeds and kosher salt.
  3. Cut into 4 quarters. Starting from the bottom of one square, roll the dough up tightly into a rope of dough. Repeat with the 3 other squares.
  4. Take one of these ropes and coil into a circle like a cinnamon bun. Repeat this process with the 3 remaining ropes.
  5. Lightly dust dough circles with flour. Using a rolling pin, flatten each coil of dough into a pancake, about 4 inches wide.
  6. Heat a medium skillet pan over medium low heat, add a drizzle of vegetable oil. Lay the pancake gently in the pan and cover pan with a lid. Cook for 2 mins per side. Remove lid and cook for another 1 minute on each side.
  7. For the dipping sauce, place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Cut pancakes into wedges and serve with dipping sauce.
