by the time this recipe is posted I've attempted this item 4-5 times.  I've decided to perfect this item and will bring the same thign to every single event that has to do with food.  Cheap is my keyword.  

Attempt #4   I'm going to attempt this my way following the recipe exactly and only cutting the water by half because the original just has too much water.  I think will just double the original recipe as there's only 15 people attending and still leave enough for myself.

Attempt #3  Mom had an idea to make this but she disregarded my recipe instructions and quantities and dumped all the scallions she got into the mixer, added water to mix it then wondered why she got an oatmeal texture.   Result?  Dense but flavorful stuff.  The texture could really take some lessons from attempt #2

Attempt #2  made 3 days later and it was for another party this time I followed a different recipe one with yeast because I thought it would taste better with a fluffy light cripsy texture.  SUcess! at least on the texture and look.  The flavor could use more intensity as I had to add so much extra flour because of the water amount that I ran out of scallions.  Great texture, size, shape but weak on the flavor.   I actually enjoyed my own cooking which says alot.   Total quantity made:  85 pieces

Attempt #1 it was for a BBQ party and I needeed something simple, cheap, ethnic and tasty so this fit the bill.   I mixed up 2 recipes and didn't realize that there was 2 ways of making this one of them is unleaven dough so no yeast aka no rising.  No wonder this thing as dense, chewy.   Instead of a kneadable dough I had a liquid mix that was oatmeal texture.  I had to pour it on the pan and since time was ticking I made it and brought it with me.  Thank god no one else knew better
