Flaky Shallot Pancake (酥脆葱油饼)

Instant roti canai has transformed into this flaky shallot pancake! I craved for this pancake but did not want to spend too much time in preparing the pastry, so I used instant roti canai (aka roti prata) instead. Super easy to make, and the taste and texture were pretty close to the real deal.

I added some chopped bacon this time, but T commented the pancakes would have stronger shallot aroma without the bacon. So, the choice is yours.

Ingredients (2 servings):
2 pcs Instant (frozen) Roti Canai/Prata
1 stalk Green Shallot aka spring onion, chopped finely
1 slice Bacon, chopped finely
Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Cooking Oil

Methods:

1. In between 2 sheets of plastic, roll out roti into a small rectangle shape.
2. Sprinkle half amount of green shallot and bacon, follows by some pepper.
3. Roll up from the short end to make cylinder. Set aside.
4. Repeat step 1 and 2 for second piece of roti, place rolled roti (step 3) on it then wrap and roll up from the short end to make thicker roll.
5. Divide rolled roti into 6-8 equal size pieces. Cut side down, press and roll each piece into a thin pancake (in between plastic sheets).
6. Heat oil in pan, pan fry with medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
7. Serve warm.
