Fried buns

Overview

I patiently cut the pork into fine dices and used leeks grown in my own courtyard. The only seasonings were soy sauce, sesame oil and salt. When the fried buns come out of the pan, they are crispy on the bottom and soft on the surface. When you take a bite, diced pork and leeks come out one after another, fragrant and sizzling with oil. It is delicious!

  11. Roll out the dough, don’t make it too thin (this is the most common mistake. If you always want the dough to be thin and the filling is big, it often won’t rise);
