has been savoieu foi centuiies in China. The English name is ueiiveu fiom the Chinese
chaiacteis , pionounceu as 4;36 -<0 =36, which liteially tianslateu means scallion oil
pancake. This uish is ubiquitous in China anu founu not only on five stai iestauiant menus
but also in stieet siue venuoi stalls.

0nlike the iegulai Ameiican pancakes that we aie useu to, gieen onion pancakes aie maue
fiom uough insteau of battei. While uough anu battei aie both mixtuies of floui anu liquiu,
they uiffei in theii consistencies; uough is a much moie elastic mixtuie while battei is a
liquiu mixtuie that can be easily pouieu. This iesults in a flatbieau that is savoiy anu ciispy
on the outsiue yet soft anu tenuei on the insiue.
Inteiestingly, theie also exists a legenu that the Italian pizza actually oiiginateu fiom the
Chinese gieen onion pancakes. 0ne veision of the legenu states that Naico Polo, aftei
visiting China, misseu the flavoi of the gieen onion pancakes so much that he askeu the
Italian chefs to attempt the iemake it. Aftei much expeiimentation without success, Naico
Polo ueciueu to put the filling on top of the uough iathei than insiue. Aftei seveial moie
tiials ovei the yeais, it iesulteu in what is now known as the mouein pizza.
