Sesame pan cake



INGREDIENTS

For dough
  • 2-1/2 cup flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tea yeast
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon oil
For stuffing
  • 1 cup chipped cilantro or scallion
  • 1 cup diced 5 spice tofu
For outside
  • some oil
  • some water
  • sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS

  1. Put flour, sugar, salt, yeast, oil into a bowl and gradually work in the water, mixing well until a soft dough forms. (You may not need all of the water, mix until the dough not stick to your hand.)
  2. Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and put in a warm place to rise for 30 mins. (skip this if you don't have enough time)
  3. In a bowl, mix together the cilantro and tofu. Season with a pinch of salt.
  4. Take out the dough and roll out thinly on a oiled 12"plate. Use your hand to spare the dough out to the edge of your plate. Keep the center a little ticker. (remember to oil the plate nicely, you don't want the cake to get stock!)
  5. Put your stuffing in the center or the roll out dough.
  6. Pull on the side and pinch them together to form a Dom. Push down the center to shape the cake.
  7. Brush the cake with water than sprinkle sesame seed all over included the side. Do this on both side of the cake.
  8. Heat 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil in an pan over medium-low heat until hot but not smoking.
  9. Put cake in to the pan. Cover and cook the cake until underside is golden, about 8-10 minutes. Turn cake over, cover and cook for another 8-10 mins until the cakes are golden-brown and crisp.
  10. Enjoy!
