Savory scallion pancakes are a popular street food in both Korea and China. Their crisp-on-the-outside and chewy-on-the-inside texture is great for sinking your teeth into, and the fresh, tangy aroma of scallions complements the subtly salty batter. While the traditional version of this recipe calls for frying the pancakes, our oil-free version cooks them on a nonstick griddle so you get all the satisfying flavors of this popular snack without the added fat. They’re totally tasty on their own, but we love dipping them in a jazzed-up soy sauce that features spicy gochugaru (Korean pepper flakes) and toasted sesame seeds. These vegan scallion pancakes are perfect rolled up and packed in your child’s lunchbox for a tasty school day snack.
