Broccoli Corn and Shallot Pancake

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 cups flour (all-purpose, whole-wheat pastry or gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil (spicy version used)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 large minced shallots
  • 1 cup shaved broccoli florets (about 2 heads)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (defrosted and drained)
  • neutral flavored oil (for sautéing and frying)
  • sriracha, ketchup, and soy sauce for serving

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, whisk 2-1/2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt.

  2. Add 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil and 1 cup boiling water, mix to incorporate using a wooden spoon until shaggy dough forms.

  3. Knead on floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.

  4. Form dough into a ball and cover with a damp towel, let rest for 1 hour.

  5. Meanwhile, sauté 2 large minced shallots, 1 cup shaved broccoli florets, and 1 cup corn kernels in a little neutral flavored oil, salt to taste, and set aside.

  6. Use a pastry cutter to divide the rested dough into 8 equal parts.

  7. Roll each part into a ball and cover with a damp towel.

  8. Remove one ball and roll into a flat pancake about 10-inches in diameter.

  9. Brush with oil and spread 1/4 cup broccoli and corn filling evenly on the pancake.

  10. Roll filling into pancake like a jelly roll to form a tube.

  11. Form a pinwheel shape with the tube.

  12. Use a rolling pin to form a 5-inch pancake from the pinwheel.

  13. Keep under damp towel on floured surface and repeat for the other 7 balls.

  14. Dust each with a little flour before pan frying in a non-stick skillet with 1 tablespoon heated neutral oil.

  15. Flip once underside has browned, about 3 minutes per side.

  16. Serve with a mixture of sriracha, ketchup, and soy sauce.
