You’ll Need

2 large flour tortillas, 4 spring onions, finely sliced
1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper

Optional but Dangerous
Chilli oil
Sesame seeds
Extra spring onions
Soy dipping sauce

Method

Brush one tortilla lightly with sesame oil.

Scatter over the sliced spring onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Place the second tortilla on top and press down firmly.

Brush the outside lightly with vegetable oil.

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

Place the pancake into the air fryer basket.

Air fry at 200°C for 5–6 minutes.

Carefully flip and cook for another 4–5 minutes until deeply golden and crisp.

Remove and allow to sit for 1 minute.

Slice into wedges and serve immediately with soy sauce or chilli oil if using.

Lad Tip: Shanghai spring onion pancakes are all about texture. If you hear a proper crunch when cutting the wedges, you're doing it right. If they fold like a wet flannel, they needed another minute near the heat.
