Add 1/4 cup of oil to the bowl with the finely chopped green onions, ensuring they are submerged. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the green onions are cooked and the oil is infused. Set aside to cool slightly.

Lightly dust a clean countertop with flour. Take two square wrappers. Place some of the darker green parts of the green onions onto one wrapper. Use scissors to cut these green onions into smaller pieces directly on the wrapper.

Place the second wrapper on top of the first, sandwiching the green onions. Use a small rolling pin to roll out the stacked wrappers until they form a single, larger, thinner sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and dark green onion parts.

Spread a thin layer of the cooled scallion-infused oil mixture (from Step 2) onto each rolled-out wrapper. Tightly roll each wrapper into a log shape.

Using a knife, cut each log into small, round segments, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Take each segment and gently flatten it with a rolling pin into a small, round pancake shape.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Carefully place the flattened scallion pancakes into the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
⏱️ 10 min

In a small bowl, beat the two eggs. Once the scallion pancakes are cooked and golden, dip each pancake into the beaten egg, coating it completely. Return the egg-coated pancakes to the pan and cook for 1 minute per side, or until the egg is set and lightly browned.
⏱️ 8 min

Transfer the cooked mini scallion egg pancakes to a serving board or plate. For a bento box, arrange the pancakes in one compartment. Fill other compartments with optional items like sliced apples, cherry tomatoes, and small cheese cubes.
