Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water (plus 1 tbsp water)
  • 1 tsp neutral oil
  • 1 lb extra firm tofu
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 3/4 tsp black salt (or regular salt)
  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots
  • 1 cup chopped scallions
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell peppers
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp 5 spice powder (optional but highly recommended)
  • 1 tsp roasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil (for the vegetable mix)
  • Sesame oil or other oil (for cooking)
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (for 2 pancakes)
  • 1 tbsp water (for each pancake)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  2. Gradually add warm water while stirring until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Crumble the extra firm tofu into a mixing bowl.
  5. Add turmeric powder, black salt, shredded carrots, chopped scallions, diced red bell peppers, additional salt, and 5 spice powder if using. Mix well.
  6. Drizzle toasted sesame oil over the mixture and stir until evenly combined.
  7. Divide the rested dough into equal portions (about 8).
  8. Roll each portion into thin circles on a floured surface.
  9. Place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle.
  10. Fold over the dough to encase the filling completely and seal edges by pressing firmly.
  11. Heat sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  12. Gently place stuffed pancakes in the skillet; cook until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  13. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
