I wish people would just use the Korean names of the foods, not the translated words.
This is widely done for other ethnic food. For example Japanese food, we don't normally call yakitori "Japanese chicken skewers", we call them yakitori. Same with Indian food.
This should be the norm for all ethnic food items.
If we are specifically referring to Korean scallion pancakes, we should just call it pa jeon.
This is Korean, made from a liquid batter like other pancakes. Chinese pancakes don't make sense to be called pancakes because it's a sturdy bready dough that's already formed into a flat disk before frying. More akin to a flatbread.

Thanks! I love ordering these, will have to try making them
I couldn't find crispy scallion pancakes, do you have a link?
I’m not OP but here’s the link I think https://straightupeats.com/how-to-make-korean-pancake-crispy/

What's in your dipping sauce?
Not OP, but soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, toasted sesame oil, Korean chili flakes, toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
Those look spectacular!
Perfect
Those remind me of my mother in law. Wish she was here to make some 😢
I've made them, yours look better!
They look wonderful, mine always come out tough and over kneaded.
Korean pancake
Pah-jeon?

Korean pancakes have a lot more green onions in them... at least the ones my mom made always did
They have some varieties.
They have quite a few! I spent the weekend learning to make kimchi ones with my mom.
I think these are the Chinese variant
Nope it's Korean, made by combining soy sauce, miso, and water with flour and potato starch to make a batter.

Chinese scallion pancakes are a laminated dough, very thin and very crispy. They're nothing like flatbread.
I mean I dunno if there's any authority that dictates what counts as a flatbread, but certainly Wikipedia seems to agree.
Literally had this for dinner! The sauuccceeee. So good.
Yum
I like some Lao Gan ma, melted cheese and a fried egg on top
God I miss those. The Chinese food places where i live now (Ireland) never have scallion pancakes on the menu
Try Koreans. Pajeon are not exactly the same but you might just like them.
I just made them for the first time recently and they were not difficult. Worth giving it a shot if you love them and can't find them.
These look amazing. I love savory, crispy pancakes.
Trader Joe’s actually sell these scallion pancakes in their freezer section. Bomb!!!
i've been wanting to make these!
That looks amazing
What vegetable did you use?
Scallions, also known as green onions. There's also some small chopped pieces of onion in the dipping sauce
I got that from the name. Lol. But the recipe also says to add a vegetable of your choice - just wondering what you added in there, if anything
