2If pancakes are stuck together, steam them briefly; the heat and moisture will help them separate easily.
3Serve immediately after warming as they tend to dry out and harden as they cool.
4Use as a wrapper for classic dishes like Peking duck or moo shu pork, or with any stir-fried vegetable and protein combination.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store unused pancakes in an airtight bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For longer storage, freeze pancakes with parchment paper between each one to prevent sticking; they will last for up to 3 months.
