Pan-Fried Scallion and Toasted Sesame Buns (Hua Juan Bao, 花卷)

Sesame oil:
If you don’t have sesame oil, feel free to use regular neutral oil like canola, rice bran, etc.
Yeast Storage:
You can store opened packages of yeast in the freezer to make sure they’re still good for future use!
Toasted Sesame Seeds:
You can opt to make your own toasted sesame seeds. To toast, simply heat a large non-stick pan over high heat. Once hot and smoking, lower the heat to medium. Place the raw sesame seeds into the pan and then leave to toast for 30 seconds before mixing around to toast the other sides evenly until golden brown throughout, around 3 minutes total. Make sure to keep an eye on your sesame seeds so they don’t burn. Transfer the toasted sesame seeds on a plate or tray and leave to cool completely before storing in a jar until ready to use.
Storage and reheating tips:
Place the cooked buns in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. To reheat, you can pan fry them again with a splash of water then cover. You can also microwave them with a splash of water then cover.
You can freeze cooked the buns too and just steam them (from frozen) before enjoying! Alternatively, you can also wrap the buns in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until cooked through.
