Mix together sourdough discard and water until evenly distributed. Add salt, sugar and flour and knead until the dough comes together. Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
Roll the dough out into a thin rectangle. Generously and evenly apply oil and top with scallions and sesame seeds. Tightly roll up the dough from the long end and twirl in a spiral. Flatten and roll into a thin disk. Make the second layer: brush with oil and top with scallion and sesame seeds. Roll up and shape into a spiral. Flatten into a thin disk.
Heat up a pan on medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and cook the pancake for about 2 minutes per side until brown and crispy. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into triangles. Serve with a soy dipping sauce and enjoy!
