Okay queens and kings, let me spill the tea on this absolutely divine midnight snack that’s been my go-to whenever those late-night cravings hit! If you’re anything like me, sometimes you just need something satisfying and delicious at 2 AM, and let’s be honest – those basic microwave meals aren’t cutting it anymore.
Enter my Secret Crispy Chinese Scallion Pancake Rolls! Trust me, once you try these bad boys, you’ll be sneaking to the kitchen every night (don’t say I didn’t warn you! 😉).
What makes these extra special is the perfect balance of crispy exterior and soft, pillowy inside, paired with a sauce that’ll make your taste buds dance. And the best part? You can whip these up in just 15 minutes!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup hot water
– 3 tablespoons sesame oil
– 1 bunch green scallions (finely chopped)
– Salt to taste
– Vegetable oil for frying
For that killer dipping sauce:
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon chili oil (more if you’re feeling spicy!)
– 1 clove minced garlic

Now, let’s get cooking:
1. Mix flour and hot water until you get a shaggy dough. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth (think baby’s bottom smooth, y’all!).
2. Let it rest for 10 minutes (perfect time to scroll through TikTok, just saying).
3. Roll out the dough, brush with sesame oil, sprinkle with salt and scallions.
4. Roll it up like you’re rolling your eyes at bad dating advice, then coil it into a spiral.
5. Flatten with your palm and roll out again.
6. Fry in medium-hot oil until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes each side).
Cut into wedges, serve with that amazing dipping sauce, and prepare for your taste buds to thank you!
Pro tip: Want to make these even more indulgent? Add some shredded cheese before rolling – I won’t judge, it’s midnight after all! 🧀
Seriously though, these are absolutely perfect for those nights when you’re binge-watching your favorite show and need something more exciting than plain old popcorn. Plus, they’re totally customizable – add some spice, switch up the fillings, make them your own!
