Making the buns
Get one wrapper. Vertically slice strips on it. Place some of the scallion and sesame filling.
Grab both ends of the wrapper, pull, and then twist! Shape into a bun. See video above (or here) for a better idea.
Tuck the ends of the wrapper to seal the bun.
Cover the buns to prevent these from drying while you prepare the rest.
Leave the buns to rise for 15-20 minutes in a warm spot before cooking. The buns will rise while you prepare the rest so the first few pieces will be ready to cook by the time you finish twisting and sealing the rest.
Cooking the buns
Heat a pan and prepare a lid (I used a non-stick pan), add in 1 tbsp of oil (for every 4 buns). When hot, add in the buns. Leave to cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until it has a golden brown crust.
*Note: the number of buns per batch will depend on the size of your pan!
Prepare the lid of your pan. Using the lid as protection, carefully pour 1/3 cup of water (around 1 tbsp for every bun) into the pan and then immediately cover to prevent it from splashing due to the heat.
Leave to cook in the steam, until the water has evaporated. Take out the buns and repeat this step for the remaining ones.
Enjoy while hot and really fluffy! Feel free to garnish with more scallions and sesame seeds. See storage and reheating tips below.
