About Green onion pancake
Green onion pancakes (also known as scallion pancakes) are a savory flatbread originating from Chinese cuisine. They are made by combining dough with finely chopped green onions (scallions) and pan-frying for a crisp yet chewy texture. Typically made with wheat flour, water, oil, and salt, these pancakes are rich in carbohydrates and contain small amounts of protein from the wheat flour. While relatively low in fat unless fried in excess oil, green onion pancakes can provide a good source of energy and trace nutrients from scallions, such as vitamins A and C, along with dietary fiber.
Health Benefits
- Green onions are a good source of vitamin C, which supports the immune system and acts as an antioxidant.
- The fiber in green onions can support digestive health by promoting regularity.
- Green onions contain small amounts of vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting and bone health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store leftover cooked pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a non-stick skillet for best texture.
Common Questions About Green onion pancake Nutrition
Is Green Onion Pancake high in protein?
Green Onion Pancakes are not particularly high in protein. Typically, one pancake contains around 2-3 grams of protein, depending on the recipe. Most of the calories come from flour and oil, making it a carbohydrate- and fat-heavy food rather than protein-rich.
Can I eat Green Onion Pancake on a keto diet?
Green Onion Pancakes are traditionally made with flour, making them high in carbohydrates and unsuitable for a keto diet. A single pancake typically contains around 25-30 grams of carbs, which can easily exceed the daily carb limit for keto adherents.
Are there health concerns with eating Green Onion Pancake?
Green Onion Pancakes can be high in calories, refined carbs, and saturated fats, particularly if fried heavily in oil. Regular consumption without moderation can contribute to weight gain or increased cholesterol levels. However, they do provide small amounts of vitamins like vitamin C from green onions.
What is the recommended serving size for Green Onion Pancake?
A typical serving size for a Green Onion Pancake is one medium pancake weighing approximately 100-120 grams, which can range from 200-300 calories depending on the preparation method. Pairing it with a side of vegetables or a lean protein can create a balanced meal.
How do Green Onion Pancakes compare to regular pancakes?
Green Onion Pancakes differ significantly from regular sweet pancakes as they are savory, thinner, and typically made with oil-laminated dough instead of batter. Regular pancakes are higher in sugar and can be more calorie-heavy due to toppings, while Green Onion Pancakes are more focused on fats and carbs, with a distinct onion flavor.
