  • “These were amazing! way more impressed with them than i thought i would be. they will be a regular snack around my house. we added a little finly choped white onions,mushrooms and bean sprouts to the mix. was soooooo good diped in a little spicy mayo. my kids devoured them!”

  • “ok. i made two of adjustments here. first, i use spring roll wrappers, so i roll them instead of shaping them into pancakes. second, i didn’t fry them. i put them on baking tray, sprayed using olive oil, and bake them at 200 for approx. 15 minutes. other than those, these pancakes are great! i also made a sauce from equal part of soy sauce and mirin, with a dash of chili powder.”

  • “YUM! So easy and quick! I used 24 won ton wrappers, 1/2 cup scallions(all I had) and added 1 large red jalapeno. Gave it a festive Christmas look! I cut in half on the angle making 24 appetizers. You do need to use more oil for the frying. Thanks for a great treat!”

  • “I served these as an appetizer for a chinese dinner party we hosted this week. I cut each pancake in half and drizzled with a blend of rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Everyone really enjoyed them. I will make these crunchy treats again. Thanks Gay.”

  • “This is definately company fare! They are so quick to make and sooooo tasty. I didn’t even bother with the soy sauce as there was no need! A great alternative to greasy potato chips that will become a staple snack in my house.Thanks so much for posting them, Gay!”

  • “Gay, I was looking in the thread for “Cooking the Elves,” saw this recipe someone was planning to make. I thought it sounded good, made it for lunch, and WOW AM I *EVER* happy I looked in that thread! These are fantastic!I think you could even entertain with these. I did not use sesame oil to make them more waist-friendly, and I also fried them in PAM. Thank you very much for posting this! “

  • “DH and I loved these.I could have just ate these.I have never had them before, but I plan on making them again, real soon.Thankyou so much for introducing us to them.Delicious!”

  • “These were pretty good, they seemed to need a little more punch.After cooking them they were still a little floppy, not crisp the way I percieved they should be, I crisped them in the oven and they gained a lot.Thanks”

  • “Tasted pretty good, but doesn’t stay together if you put too many scallions in each one. Also, tastes like rubber unless you fry them real well. That being said, I loved the ones that turned out good. Also made a dipping sauce with equal parts white vinegar and soy sauce, but added a little crushed red pepper to it.”

  • “I made this as part of the Cooking the Elves tribute, and I am so glad I found this simple and yummy recipe.No won ton wrappers in this country, so I used cigar wrappers (the dough used to make Moroccan meat-stuffed cigars).It worked like a dream and we love this little part of Chinese-Moroccan fusion cuisine!”

  • “Oh my goodness did I have fun with this recipe. Great taste and Easy. You can not get any better than that. I used cream cheese for a spread. Endless ideas for this. Thank You for a wonderful easy recipe. Hugs”

  • “I only made 3 and they were very good but needed something a little more.Served as an appetizer to Recipe #81096 and Recipe #30471.”

  • “What a delicious, quick snack!I will be making these again.Thanks for sharing!”

  • “These were pretty good. I don’t think I’ll be making them again but it was a good change from my usual snacking.”

  • “These were excellent, easy, fairly quick (I made 8 pancakes, so they took a little longer than 5 minutes to prep), and darn tasty!They tasted really god with spicy mayo spread on top. Thank you for posting.”

  • “Easy and pretty good… It could be more flavorful though, so I will add more of everything next time. I made a great dipping sauce of equal parts soy sauce and Sriracha chili sauce with a small amount of ginger.Edited to change from 4 stars to 5:I took these to a party and they were the first thing gone.People RAVED about them.Also, I used wonton wrappers and cut them in half diagonally after cooking so they held together better and were crispier.”

  • “Great! We really enjoyed these. Next time, I will stuff more green onion in them cause I couldn’t taste the green onion enough. I made a dipping sauce made with equal parts soy sauce and white vinegar, then a splash of chili oil. I will make this again. THANKS!!”

  • “Ta-da! I’ve just gained 5 more pounds! :o| Next step is figuring out how to mainline these so I can continue to enjoy them in my sleep.Thanks, Gay! I think!”

  • “Very good and easy to make.I also made some larger ones with egg roll wrappers.I served with a dip made with cream cheese, soy & more green onions.”

  • “I made these and added shrimp.They were very good but not as crispy as I would have liked. Next time I will make them without the shrimp.”
