Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 8 egg roll wrappers
• 4 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• Soy sauce (for serving)
• Cooking oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Egg Mixture:

   • In a small bowl, beat the egg and sesame oil together until well combined.

2. Assemble Pancakes:

   • Lay out one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface.
   • Brush one side of the wrapper with the egg mixture.
   • Sprinkle 1/4 of the chopped green onions and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds evenly over the wrapper.
   • Place another egg roll wrapper on top, pressing gently to adhere and seal the edges.
   • Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients, creating a total of 4 pancakes.

3. Fry the Pancakes:

   • In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully transfer one pancake to the skillet.
   • Fry each side of the pancake for about 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
   • Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning, adding more oil if needed.
   • Repeat this process with the remaining pancakes.

4. Serve:

   • Once all the pancakes are cooked, transfer them to a cutting board and cut each pancake into 6 pieces.
   • Serve the Green Onion Pancakes warm, accompanied by soy sauce for dipping.
