Ohh...here we go...According to wikipedia, Only Australians use the term shallot to refer to scallions. The rest of the world uses the term shallot to refer to those little onions that are called eschalot in Sydney. I now live in Sydney just like the chef in this video.
From Wikipedia...Scallions (also known as green onions, spring onions, salad onions, green shallots, onion sticks, or siobhes), Personally I grew up knowing these as spring onions but now live where they are called shallots. US cooking shows refer to them as scallions.
I agree, Shallots are mini onions, sometimes called "kew Tau" in Cantonese, what he used there is Spring Onions, at least this is how we know them in HK and in UK. Calling them Shallots is simply ignorance to the nth degree.
Pardon, this is called "scallion pancake," not "shallot pancake," as no shallot is used here, but scallion, which is also called "green onion," or "spring onion."
shallots are the purplish thing that looks like a cross between an onion and a garlic shape. Scallions is what they were going for guys

I love that technique off rolling, spiraling, and then flattening. I have tried it, and it is difficult. So cool though.

《青蔥》的英文名是《scallion》，不是《shallot》。青蔥也可以被英文直接翻譯為《green onion》，即《綠色的蔥》；有些人叫之為《spring onion》，即《春蔥》，但極少數。《shallot》在臺灣及香港好像叫《紅蔥》或《紅蔥頭》；臺灣人及南洋的馬來人和華僑非常喜歡將之在熱油裏炸酥後當配料使用，臺灣人叫它《油蔥酥》，非常地好吃而且普遍受大家喜愛。西歐的菜系中有名的法國用《紅蔥》最多，不過多時是生吃或作醬汁的重要原料，不油炸，不似東方人的大方、豪放，大概因為《紅蔥》在西方的售價比其它一般蔥類農作物要貴許多吧？西方對飲食最白癡而且在行為上最小家子氣的美國人根本不用紅蔥，可能～99.8%連聽都沒聽過。
