Method for preparing Chinese Pancakes Recipe

1. Sieve the flour into a bowl. Boil the water and the oil and pour into
the flour. Stir until blended and knead well for up to 3 minutes.

2. Divide into 2 pieces and roll each into a sausage shape. Cut each
''sausage'' into 6 pieces (12 pieces in all). Roll out each piece to a
circle 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter, and sandwich two together.

3. Heat the frying pan, without fat, to a moderate heat. Put one
''sandwich'' in at a time, and turn it over when brown spots appear on the
underside. Cook the other side, and peel the pancakes apart after
removing them from the pan.

4. Cover with damp tea-towel, while you cook the other pancakes. Put all
the filling ingredients in a pan, and toss until they are heated through.

5. Divide them between the pancakes, roll them up and eat immediately
with your fingers.
