Green onion pancake, or scallion pancake, is a savory, non-leavened flatbread folded with oil and minced green onions. Unlike a true pancake, it is made from dough instead of batter. Green onion pancakes are also available in other areas of the world with ethnic Chinese populations, in restaurants and as a street food item, and are also commercially available packaged fresh or frozen solid in plastic packages, often found in Asian supermarkets.
I think you might know how to help me – do you have any idea where I can find shanghainese fried buns with soup inside? we looked a bit in SF’s Chinatown but food there is mostly Cantonese
Are you talking about the shengjianbao (pan fried bun with juicy meat) or the xiaolongbao (steamed bun with meat and soup)?
生煎馒头, of course! :) I’m dying to eat them again. I tried them in Shanghai few times and I remember family stories how grandma beat my husband and his cousins because they ate it too fast and the ‘soup’ inside :)
I know there’s one Shanghainese place I think on a way to Fremont, next to Lucky but whenever I get there they are out of pork to make it… T___T
I’ve had it at New China, in Union City. A friend said she had it somewhere in Cupertino, she doesn’t remember which place.
Dude those noodles in the background… can you bring them to me when you come and visit? I miss noodles so much already. Please halp.
Only if you share them with me. This was from the lunch Dad had with Kay-Ma. They went back for dinner, which I joined, and they got the onion pancake again.
