Grilled Lamb With Scallion Pancakes Recipe (2024)

Don’t let the scallion pancakes frighten you. Having a son who married into a Taiwanese family, we have eaten a LOT of scallion pancakes in restaurants in Seattle and San Francisco where our children live. These are the best scallion pancakes we have ever eaten. I was not able to match the dimensions that Florence gave using her ingredients but who cares. The lamb was super on the grill although Ten minutes per side was more than adequate over one layer of briquettes. Go for it.

Just did pancakes: followed recipe quite precisely using 3/4 cup boiling water then 1/4 cup cold water as suggested elsewhere. The dough was perfect. Next time, slice the scallions more finely as it was lumpy - perhaps thinly slice lengthwise (thinly julienned) then segmented. Used more toasted sesame oil than suggested (brushing each pancake) and found sprinkling salt on the uncooked pancake when rolled out was needed (salt in the dough wasn't enough). Also use thin (chapati-type) rolling pin.

These were very good. They take a time for assembly, but its easy and fun to work with the dough. Served them up at a dinner party and they were gone quickly!

Scallion pancakes can be purchased frozen at Asian markets and Trader Joe’s

These were outstanding and so simple to make. The scallion pancakes did take longer than I expected but not overly complicated. Used a different cut of lamb, didn't seem to matter. Threw in some cilantro.

I made a half-recipe of the scallion pancakes - they are wonderful! I cooked them longer than the suggested 2 minutes - closer to 5 in a nonstick pan. Suggest 3/4 of the recommended scallions are sufficient.

I’m wondering if these pancakes could be lightLy brushed with vegetable oil and grilled instead of fried.

Fantastic! Only note would be to double the scallion pancakes--by the time I was done with 2 my husband had devoured the rest. Get 2 cast-iron skillets going at the same time, otherwise you'll be making pancakes all night. Also, let the dough sit for longer, preferably in the fridge, covered in plastic.

Outstanding, simple lamb prep. Used a bit more five spice than called for. Grilled direct heat 400° w cherry wood chunk for smoke. Scallion pancakes easy and impossible not to like.

Didn’t have spring onions so I used kale, which worked really well. The whole recipe was great, will definitely add it to the repertoire.

I had a quarentine craving for my favorite dim sum and these pancakes did not disappoint! Well worth the effort.

Did anyone find that the scallion dough was very wet/sticky?

My clients loved this. The pancakes are worth the effort. Will make it again.

Delicious! Followed the (broiler) recipe. Sacrificed the first couple pancakes (as is common with me and doughy stuff), but after that it was pretty straight forward. The soy and 5-spice are a perfect match for lamb, and the scallion pancakes will be put into my future menu rotations. I like the hoisin sauce. My husband tried some other hot pepper sauces, but decided the hoisin was the way to go. Made it for dinner, but can see how party goers would devour it!Recommended!
