Polly's Green Onion Pancakes My Way

Scissor off home grown green onions from the garden.
Rinse and Cut.  Strain to dry.

Mix 1 Cup of Flour with Salt of your choice but not much in the dough, though.   Because you will be smearing the rolled dough with the salt later.   You can also test by adding a 1 Tbsp of baking powder.  You can also test with Pastry Flour or Cake Flour for more tender texture.  Sometimes, I think my All Purpose Flour has too much protein power.

 

Roll the dough with 1/4 C Warm water.  Add some more if needed. Roll the dough till form into a smooth dough.

 Cover and rest for 30 minutes.

Green onion should be fairly dry.  If not, Wipe them off with paper towel.
Chop green onions.

Roll out the dough as thin as you could.

Smear with some vegetable oil/Avocado oil.   Smear some Salt all over, but remember how much you have added to the flour already, if you did. 

Spread chopped green onions.

Roll it up to enclose green onions.

Slice into fours or however large round green onion pancakes you would like.
Hold the roll up and squash it down.  Then, roll it flat, but not too thin.

 

Heat up the pan.  Add small amount of oil - 2 Tbsp.  Cook over low heat, patiently.

Slice and Serve while still hot.

Boiled MOCHI DANGO with AZUKI (Red Beans)

Sometimes, I want to just have some snack.  The presentation likely would add to its enjoyment, but sometimes, I just don't have enough time and care in the world, but I want to just make it and eat it.
Grab 1 Cup of MOCHI flour (Glutinous Rice flour) of any brand.
In this testing, I added 1/4 C Tapioca flour.  Not that it matters for the type of MOCHI DANGO I am making because it is moist type and eaten right away.
Mix MOCHI flour with some water.  Adding 1/4 C of water first.  Mix.

Add enough water to form a pliable "play" dough.   Flatten the dough - depending on the size of the MOCHI balls you want to make - 1 to 1-1/2 TBsp size.    Drop enough AZUKI (a can of red bean paste or make your own - thick and pasty.)

Enclose the Red Bean.

Bring a pot of water to a BOIL first, then, Add the MOCHI Balls.

The water will drawn back to simmer naturally.  Wait for the water to bring back to full boil again.

Boil for 1 to 2 minutes after they float up.  Take largest one out to check.

Cooked through?  Transfer to a plate. Cool them off a bit before serving.  Do Not Serve young children MOCHI or Hot Sweet Potato type items while they are still steaming.  Cut them into halves and tested for heat before serving to young children.

Serve.

If you wait long enough after straining and air drying, you could pick them up with fingers to eat... it's sticky... yum!
