Method

  1. 1 Knead the flour with warm water until it forms a soft dough, then let it rest for 1 hour until it is very pliable.
  2. 2 Mix minced meat with chopped scallions, crushed roasted Sichuan peppercorns, chili powder, and ginger to make the filling.
  3. 3 Roll the dough into long sheets, spread the filling on them, and roll them into long strands.
  4. 4 Twist the strands into a spiral shape, then flatten them into round cakes 1 cm thick.
  5. 5 Rolling, twisting, and flattening is how you create dozens of layers inside the pastry.
  6. 6 Pan-fry in a thin layer of oil for 5 minutes on each side, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and press to make the pancake golden brown and crispy on both sides.
