@cornstarch{1%tbsp} @rice wine vinegar{1%packet} @broccoli{1%cup} @soy sauce{1%tbsp} @shrimp{½%lb} @garlic{2%cloves} @mini cucumber{1%unit} @sweet soy glaze{1%packet} @szechuan paste{1%packet} @sesame oil{1%tsp} @pizza dough{1%unit} @scallions{2%units} @bell pepper{1%unit} @jasmine rice{1%cups} @ginger paste{1%tbsp} @peanuts{¼%cups} @salt{1%pinch} @sugar{1%tbsp} @cooking oil{1%tbsp} @black pepper{1%pinch}

Sprinkle ½ TBSP cornstarch over a clean work surface. Remove @pizza dough{1%unit} from packaging. Cut dough in half and shape each piece into a ball. Sprinkle another ½ TBSP cornstarch over top. Cover with a clean kitchen towel; let rest at room temperature ~{15%minutes}.

In a #small pot{}, combine @jasmine rice{1%cups}, 1¼ cups @water{1¼%cups}, and a pinch of @salt{1%pinch}. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender ~{20%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

In a #small bowl{}, whisk together 1 packet @rice wine vinegar{1%packet}, @szechuan paste{1%packet}, @sweet soy glaze{1%packet}, remaining cornstarch, 1 TBSP @sugar{1%tbsp}, and 1 cup water until smooth.

Stretch each dough ball into an oval. With a #rolling pin{}, roll until thin, about 8 inches long. Sprinkle one dough oval with sliced @scallions{2%units}; place other dough oval on top. Press down on edges to seal and roll into one pancake, 9 inches long and 8 inches wide.

Add @cooking oil{1%tbsp} to a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add @peanuts{¼%cups} and cook, stirring, until toasted ~{2%minutes}. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.

Meanwhile, rinse @shrimp{½%lb} under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.

Place scallion pancake on a cutting board and cut into triangles.
