Ingredients
2 cup unshifted all purpose flour
3/4 cup water , 1/2 hot boiling water + 1/3 cold water
1 tbsp. vegetable cooking oil
1 tbsp. cooking oil
2 cup chopped scallion , use green part only
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. Chinese five spice powder

Instructions
1. Mix salt with all purpose flour.
2. Prepare a large mixing bowl. Dig a small hole in center and then pour the hot water in. Wait for 10 minutes and then stir in the
cold water and vegetable oil. Grasp everything to form a ball, cover and rest for 5 minutes and then knead until very smooth
(around 3-5 minutes ). The dough should be quite soft. Cover the rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
3. After resting, the dough should be quite easy to roll out. Divide the large dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a large
around circle. Brush some oil, sprinkle Chinese five spice power and chopped scallion (leave the 1 cm of the edge empty).
4. Roll up the circle into a cylinder. And further roll into the shape of a snail. Cover with wet cloth and rest for 10 to 15
minutes.Roll the snail out to another thin circle.
5. Brush some cooking oil on the pan and move the circle into the pan. Use middle fire to pan-fry until the surface becomes brown
around 2-3 minutes. And turn over to fry for another 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spatula to press the circle from time and time
especially the central part to ensure the circle is evenly fried.
6. Remove the circle out and cut into wedges.

Recipe Notes
1. For a softer texture, add slightly more water.
2. If you need to add the amount, during the process of making the circle, do cover the rest of dough with a wet cloth so that the
dough will not be too dry.
