recipe instructions: Make a quick scallion oil layer
  type: HowToStep
  text: Slice the green onions thinly. Mix them with sesame oil if using, a small spoon of neutral oil, and a pinch of salt. This mixture seasons the tortillas and helps them fry with a savory scallion aroma.
recipe instructions: Fill the tortilla layers
  type: HowToStep
  text: Lay one tortilla on a board and spread a thin layer of scallion oil over it, leaving a small border. Place a second tortilla on top and press gently. Do not overfill; too much onion makes the layers slide apart in the pan.
recipe instructions: Heat the skillet and add oil
  type: HowToStep
  text: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add enough neutral oil to lightly coat the bottom. The pan is ready when a small green onion piece sizzles gently. If it browns immediately, lower the heat before adding the tortilla stack.
recipe instructions: Pan-fry until crisp on both sides
  type: HowToStep
  text: Slide the filled tortillas into the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula. Flip carefully and cook the second side until golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and scallion mixture.
recipe instructions: Cut into wedges
  type: HowToStep
  text: Move the pancake to a cutting board and let it rest for 1 minute so the surface stays crisp and your fingers do not burn. Cut into wedges with a knife or kitchen scissors. The inside should show green onion flecks.
recipe instructions: Serve with a simple dip
  type: HowToStep
  text: Stir soy sauce and rice vinegar together for dipping, adding chili crisp only if wanted. Serve right away while the edges are crisp. This is a practical shortcut snack, not a replacement for handmade scallion pancake dough.
