Fried buns

Overview

#streetfood# Pan-fried buns are a special snack popular in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangdong. It is said that more than 100 years ago, it was a side-operated variety of Shanghai teahouses. Later, it left the teahouses in response to demand and became a famous street snack. Shanghai pan-fried buns are known for their crispy skin and rich juicy flavor. The aroma of meat, oil, green onions and sesame lingers in your mouth for a long time when you take a bite. Therefore, together with Sichuan spicy hot pot, they were selected by the world-famous magazine "Forbes" as the most exciting and unique must-eat food in the world. Only these two delicacies were selected in the country, and their popularity is evident. Making your own is not only clean, hygienic and delicious, but also more economical and affordable. You can also pack a few at a time and put them in the refrigerator for quick freezing. You can take them out, fry or steam them when you want to eat them.
