Preparation
Step 1
Fry your scallion pancake in the oil until golden on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside. (I use a nonstick pan for this.)
Step 2
In the same pan, add a handful of spinach to wilt it down. When it’s softened, scoot it towards the center of the pan so the scallion pancake will catch all of it when you put it back down.
Step 3
Add the eggs; fry until the whites have started to set. Use a spatula to break the yolks and spread gently. Before the eggs are fully cooked, squish the scallion pancake on top of the eggs so it sticks to them as they finish cooking.
Step 4
Remove from heat, fill with toppings of choice (cheese, avocado, sauces, chili crisp is a good move). Roll it up and slice it in half and GO TO TOWN! These are amazing.

Chef's notes
Frozen scallion pancakes are part of Asian cuisine, believed to have originated in China. They're sold as Taiwanese Green Onion Pancakes at Trader Joe’s.
Add some eggs, spinach, avocado, and chili crisp for a quick and satisfying meal.
Optional sauces for serving include Japanese BBQ, teriyaki, gochujang sauce, or a dash of soy or fish sauce.
A creamy layer like avocado or melty American cheese can enhance the flavor without additional sauces.
