Detailed Steps for Cooking Guangdong Dim Sum Savory Pancake
Mix the flour with various additional ingredients until the dough forms gluten, let it rest for 20 minutes.
Form the dough into balls, each about 8 qian in weight (size varies per person).
Flatten the dough evenly to create the pancake, ensuring uniform thickness for better quality.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, adding a decorative touch to the savory pancake.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the savory pancake at around 150 degrees Celsius, fry one side until golden brown before flipping to fry the other side.
The finished savory pancake should have a uniform color and size, crispy texture with a balance of savory and sweet flavors, hint of red bean curd aroma, and a tempting sesame fragrance.
