Introducing the popular Pan Fried Mini Pork Bun
Pan Fried Mini Pork Buns also known as “生煎包” (shēng jiān bāo) have gained worldwide recognition for their crispy and golden bottoms, soft and fluffy tops, and savory pork filling, making them a beloved favorite among food enthusiasts.
The delicate preparation of Pan Fried Mini Pork Bun involves creating a savory pork filling infused with aromatic spices such as ginger, garlic, and spring onions. This flavorful filling is then carefully enclosed in a hand-rolled dough wrapper, traditionally pleated at the top and fused together. Once assembled, the buns are pan-fried to perfection in a hot skillet, resulting in a crispy, golden-brown bottom while maintaining a soft, fluffy top.
The cooking process creates a delightful contrast in textures, as the crispy, flavorful bottom gives way to the juicy and succulent pork filling encased in the fluffy dough. The traditional cooking method involves adding a small amount of water to the skillet, creating steam that helps to cook the dough and keep it soft and tender while forming a crispy crust on the bottom.
Typically, Pan Fried Mini Pork Buns are served with a side of black vinegar and dumpling sauce, enhancing the overall flavor profile with a delightful tanginess. With their irresistible combination of textures and flavors, these pan-fried pork buns have earned a well-deserved reputation as a must-try dish in Chinese cuisine.
