Notes
Linda requested the scallion pancake recipe with the sauce. I was able to locate this recipe, which I believe was used to make the Five Spice Fritters. I just reduced the recipe for the pancakes, but have yet to make it – so check my math. Luckily the sauce recipe will make a home sized portion.

You will have to experiment with this. Start a quarter or half a loaf, tear it up, then add the wet ingredient. Keep adding bread until you have a mixture that you can place on a griddle without it running too much.
Please let us know how it works out!
Is the first ingredient of the sauce Red Wine vinegar or Rice Wine Vinegar? I am thinking the it is red wine if my memory serves me right, but would like to confirm.
Try them both and let us know!
I have tried the recipe several times now with red wine vinegar, and it tastes to me exactly like the sauce that I remember with the dumplings, (although it is a memory from childhood…) That makes me think it is probably red wine, and not rice wine.
I’ve made these a few times now, always using red wine vinegar, and in my recollection (albeit from childhood) it tastes exactly like what I remember having during dim sum, whenever I used to go with my parents.
