1. How do you cook Trader Joe's scallion pancakes?

Trader Joe’s scallion pancakes can be cooked on a non-stick skillet with a little oil over medium heat. Heat each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.

2. Are Trader Joe's green onion pancakes healthy?

They’re a tasty treat but can be high in sodium and oil. Making your own allows you to create a healthier version with fresher ingredients.

3. What to serve with Trader Joe's scallion pancake?

They pair well with soy dipping sauces, stir-fried veggies, soups, or even topped with eggs for a brunch twist.

4. Does Trader Joe's sell scallion pancakes?

Yes! Trader Joe’s sells scallion pancakes in their frozen section, and they’re a popular item for quick and easy meals.

5. Are these scallion pancakes the same as Chinese scallion pancakes?

Not exactly. Chinese scallion pancakes are layered and flaky, while Trader Joe’s-style pancakes (and this recipe) are more like savory, eggy pancakes.

6. Can I make these gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just swap the flour for your favorite gluten-free baking blend. They turn out just as delicious.

7. Can I freeze these pancakes?

Yes! Cook the pancakes, let them cool completely, and then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in a skillet or oven for the best texture.

8. What can I use instead of miso?

If you don’t have miso, just add an extra tablespoon of water and a splash of soy sauce. A pinch of salt works too if soy sauce isn’t your thing.

9. Can I use other veggies instead of scallions?

Totally. Try finely diced bell peppers, grated carrots, or even chopped spinach. Just make sure the veggies are small enough to cook through.
