4. [1:32](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxbS6j1B1Ps&t=92s) Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest.
5. [2:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxbS6j1B1Ps&t=126s) Combine vegetable oil, sesame oil, and flour in a small pan over medium heat.
6. [2:13](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxbS6j1B1Ps&t=133s) Whisk the oil and flour mixture until it bubbles, cook for another minute, then let cool to room temp.
7. [3:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxbS6j1B1Ps&t=194s) Unwrap the rested dough and cut it in half.
8. [3:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxbS6j1B1Ps&t=200s) Roll half of the dough into a thin rectangular shape.
9. [4:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxbS6j1B1Ps&t=264s) Brush the dough with the cooled oil and flour mixture, leaving an un-oiled border around the edge.
10. [4:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxbS6j1B1Ps&t=274s) Scatter sliced scallions evenly over the oiled dough.
11. [5:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxbS6j1B1Ps&t=311s) Roll the dough up tightly into a log, stretching slightly as you roll, and seal the edges.
12. [5:45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxbS6j1B1Ps&t=345s) Coil the log of dough into a spiral shape and tuck the end underneath.
13. [6:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxbS6j1B1Ps&t=383s) Dust the dough coil with flour and roll it out into a flat pancake about a quarter-inch thick.
14. [7:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxbS6j1B1Ps&t=438s) Heat oil in a skillet over high heat, add the pancake, and reduce heat to medium.
