Green Onion Cakes Method

Place flour in a bowl. Add boiling water stirring with a fork until dough is evenly moistened. On a lightly floured board knead dough until smooth and satiny about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. On a lightly floured board roll dough into a cylinder shape and cut into 12 equal portions. Make each cake by rolling a portion of dough into an 8 inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Keep remaining dough covered to prevent drying. Brush with a thin film of shortening. Sprinkle with a small portion of sesame oil, green onions, salt and pepper.

Roll dough into a cylinder and coil dough into a round patty, tuck end of dough underneath. Roll again to make an 8 inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Place a wide frying pan over medium heat until hot and add 2 tablespoons cooking oil swirling to coat sides. Add cake and cook turning once until golden brown 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining cakes adding more cooking oil as needed. Cut cakes into wedges. Serve the Green Onion Cakes hot with dipping sauce.
Dipping Sauce: Combine all the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl and combine thoroughly.
