Chinese Garlic Chives Pancakes

Make the dough by mixing the flour and water until they form a nice consistency, which is soft and not sticky. This is usually 3 cups of flour and 2 cups of water for me, but you can adjust as needed.

Knead the dough until the surface is smooth and shiny, usually takes about 5 minutes.

Shape the dough into a ball and then place it in a bowl and cover and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.

While you wait for the dough to rest, chop up your garlic chives. You can line the garlic chives up, and then taking your knife chop it them down to tiny pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, add garlic chives, eggs, dried shrimp, vegetable oil and salt, and mix well.

When the dough is ready, divide the dough in to 6 equally sized balls. Place each dough ball on a floured surface, and using a rolling pin, roll out the dough in to a flat circular shape, make it as thing as possible. Do this to all the dough balls so end up with 6 pancakes.

Spoon garlic chives mix on to the dough pancake, and spread evenly in a thin layer, leaving about 1 inch border.

Place a second pancake on top and then tuck the sides in and then press the edge to seal.

Do this with all of the pancakes and garlic chives mix.

Heat a large flat cooking pan or skillet on medium high. Do not add oil, and add one of the pancakes on the pan and allow it to cook for about 3 minutes, then flip pancake and allow it to cook the other side for another 3 minutes or until cooked thoroughly.

Once it is cooked, remove and cook the rest of the pancakes.

You can cut pancakes in to 2 slices, 4 slices, or 8. Serve while warm!
