An unexpected treat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have had green onion pancakes at Chinese<\/a> restaurants<\/a> over the years<\/a>, and I have never been overly impressed. Still, when I saw these Taiwanese Green Onion Pancakes<\/strong> ($2.50) at Trader Joe’s I still had to get them – don’t ask me why.

My first impression was that they were just OK. They didn’t much in the way of flavor – they were slightly salty. I did like the chewy consistency, which reminded me of Thai roti. While they are quite oily, they still felt pretty dry and screamed for something to dip them into. I tried chimichurri – but it didn’t work very well. They were delicious with honey mustard dressing, of all things. I thought they would be even better with Thai yellow curry, and they might be. But I got some Trader Joe’s yellow curry<\/a> to try them with, and the curry was horrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You heat up these pancakes on a pan, but it only takes a couple of minutes per side and it leaves you with a clean pan that you can reuse without having to wash. I already bought more.
