from you, our readers and listeners, and the special stories behind them. We'll continue to share more of your kitchen gems throughout the holidays.Lily Liu's parents left China when they were just high school students. It was a quick decision made one night in 1948 amid the country's Civil War. The two wanted to escape the prospect of life under communist rule. They didn't take a lot with them, and what they did take, they mostly ended up throwing out.
"The memories still are with us of waking up on a Sunday and the aroma of these crispy, wonderful scallion pancakes would be wafting up the stairs," Liu said."But it meant that he had woken up early because it takes a while to get the flour ready and then to make them."Liu lives in Washington, D.C., now, but said she can still picture walking down the stairs in the family's Delaware home to see her father standing in front of the stove.
"It's so simple when you think about it. Flour, scallions, salt, and that's about it. And oil to cook it," she said."But from that simple thing, the layers I feel of the flaky inside show the layers and the nuances of the love of parents."
