Scallion Pancake

Taiwan

Taiwan's morning is scallion pancake: the sizzle at dawn breakfast stalls is the sound of the day beginning.

Crispy layered flatbread filled with spring onion — a street food staple of Taiwan's morning markets. Made by rolling oil and spring onion into a spiral of thin dough.
