A scallion pancake is a kind of pancake made with green onions. In Mandarin, it’s known as cong you bing. It’s hard to tell where it was first created, but many of these tales point to Shanghai in northeastern China. It’s a popular breakfast flatbread in China. The scallion pancake greatly resembles an Indian paratha.
