We’ve made green onion pancakes every year since our founding and they are definitely our most requested recipe, so we wanted to give our students the chance to make these delicious Taiwanese breakfast treats early in the session to avoid the weekly pleading we experienced last fall! The kids love making the pancakes, I think, because working with dough is such a pleasing sensory experience and because each chef makes his/her/their own. We piled them up on a plate and took turns frying and didn’t even need to label them because no two pancakes look alike.
The best thing about classes this week was a few new students who said they didn’t like onions and found a way to enjoy them, Taiwanese style!
