9. Flip dough, cook until bubbles form, about 30 seconds.

10. Lower the heat and cover with lid and cook for 1 minute more.

11. Remove to a plate and brush with melted butter.

12. For the Cucumber Relish:

13. In a small sauce pot over medium heat, add mustard seed, toast until fragrant.

14. Add the rice wine vinegar and sugar.

15. Bring to a boil.

16. Remove from heat.

17. Allow to cool.

18. In a large bowl, add the grated cucumber, mint, and scallions, season with Kosher salt.

19. Mix to combine.

20. Add the mustard seed and vinegar mixture.
