What is the name of a Chinese pancake filled with scallions?

A Chinese pancake filled with scallions is called a scallion pancake. In Chinese, the classic version is cōng yóu bǐng, a savory pastry made with wheat-flour dough, scallions, oil, and salt.

Unlike many Western pancakes, it is usually made from dough rather than a pourable batter. The dough is rolled flat, layered with oil and chopped scallions, coiled, flattened again, and pan-fried. This layering creates its characteristic flaky exterior and chewy interior.

Scallion pancakes are commonly eaten as a snack, breakfast food, or street-food item, often with soy sauce, chili sauce, or vinegar. The name can cause confusion because “scallion pancake” is also used broadly for similar dishes from other cuisines, including Korean pajeon. Jiaozi and wontons are filled dumplings, while spring rolls use a different wrapper and cooking method.
