"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Scallion Pancakes

 

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1/3 cup water, boiling hot
2 tbsp scallion greens, minced
2 tsp lard or crisco
1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp oil



 

Preparation

Mix flour and water. Add a little more flour or a little cold water if
dough is not the right consistency. Knead until smooth. Let rest 15
min. Roll dough into a cylinder and divide into 6 pieces.

Flatten each piece into a 4" circle. Brush with softened fat and
sprinkle with salt and scallions. Roll each pancake into a long thin
spiral and flatten it. Fold this spiral into a square and flatten
again. Roll into a short fat spiral and flatten this to a 4" circle.

Heat 3 T oil and fry each piece until golden (flip once to cook both
sides). Add a teaspoon of oil or so between pancakes if the oil is too
depleted.

Adapted from Wei-Chuan, Chinese Snacks, to the way I do it; but I do
less flattening and rolling.
