Bowl of congee with a side of scallion pancakes and green onions

A traditional Asian meal of creamy congee served alongside crispy scallion pancakes, garnished with fresh green onions.

Congee is best served with an accompaniment such as these improvised “scallion pancakes,” which evoke the flavor the real thing but take only moments to assemble.

Ingredients

  • •Scallions, chopped
  • •Vegetable oil, for pan
  • •Soft tacos or tortillas, naan, or flatbread
  • •Congee

Preparation

  1. Heat chopped scallions in a lightly oiled pan, place a warmed soft taco on top.  Press, flip and fold. That’s it!  The aroma is evocative, the taste even better.  You can also use tortillas, pita, naan or flatbread. Serve with congee.
