Put green onion into shallow bowl. Flatten 1 piece of dough slightly between your palms. Press each side into green onion. Knead into dough, Shape into flattened circle. Roll out on lightly greased surface with greased rolling pin into 4½ “ circle. Repeat with remaining dough, keeping onion cakes covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
