Ingredients:
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 wheat flour tortillas
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup green onion
- Salt (optional)
- Peanut oil (for deep frying)
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Brush 4 tortillas with sesame oil, then evenly distribute some of the beaten egg over each tortilla. |
| 2 | Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of finely chopped green onions over each tortilla. |
| 3 | Top each tortilla with one of the remaining wheat flour tortillas. Press firmly around the edges to seal. Cover the cakes with plastic wrap or wax paper and place a plate on top. Let them sit for 15 minutes to ensure the edges are well-sealed. |
| 4 | While waiting, heat peanut oil in a wok or deep pan to 400°F (200°C) for deep frying. |
| 5 | Using tongs, carefully slip each tortilla cake into the hot oil, one at a time. |
| 6 | Cook the cakes, turning occasionally, until they become puffy and golden brown on both sides. |
| 7 | Once cooked, remove each cake from the oil and drain them vertically over the pan to remove excess oil. |
| 8 | Then, drain them again on paper towels to further remove any excess oil. |
| 9 | While still hot, cut each cake into 4 to 8 wedges, depending on your preference. |
| 10 | If desired, sprinkle the cakes lightly with salt for added flavor. |
| 11 | Serve the Hunan Onion Cakes hot and enjoy the delicious fusion of flavors! |
