Beijing Beef Pancake (20 November 2011)

I enjoy making this as it can be quite fun kneading flour into dough. 

This recipe is not as yummy as I have expected...   :-(   ...thinking back, I should have added some salt to the flour and some Maggie seasoning to the beef (or more soy sauce).....but it did inspire me to make Roti Prata next week! :-)

Ingredients (makes 3 pancakes):

• 300g minced beef
• 2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tsp salt
• Some white pepper
• A few drops sesame oil

Preparation:

(1) Add water to the flour and mix well.

 

(2) Spread some flour on your working area and continue kneading it there until the dough becomes smooth. Let it seat for about 15 minutes.

(3) Beat egg and combine with beef, salt, sesame oil and white pepper. Mix the ingredients for two minutes. Then add onion and soy sauce.

(4) Cut the dough into three pieces. Flatten each pieces and spread the beef mixture onto the flatten dough.

(5) Cut the dough four times and fold it. See pictures on method to fold. :-)

(6) Fry the pancakes in medium low about 8 minutes or until the pancake becomes golden.
