You’ll understand why people love To’s green onion cakes so much after a single bite. Imagine a pancake smaller but thicker than the ones we eat for breakfast, somehow firmer to the touch but lighter in the belly, with small chunks of scallions throughout and a handful of tasty dipping sauces, including hoisin and sweet and sour.
