The way to eat Chinese steamed buns 20 times more deliciously is to bake . In other words, the already puffed Chinese steamed buns are roasted in a frying pan or an iron plate to make "baked steamed buns" before eating .

The point to make it delicious is to bake both sides while crushing it. If you use a spatula or a plate to apply pressure to the entire surface in a well-balanced manner, it will become flat and evenly browned.




By baking while pressing, the ingredients (an) spread throughout the dough without any gaps, and the dough is slowly soaked with oil. The surface is browned and fragrant, so that you can feel the sweetness of the dough. Furthermore, by crushing, the air embraced in the dough is released, giving it a mochi-mochi texture . And as a result, even though it should have the same mass, the eating quality (= satisfaction) is improved!


By the way, even if you say Chinese steamed buns, there are various tastes and appearances these days.

The umami-rich black pork bean paste spreads evenly throughout, and the gravy soaks into the dough for a juicy roast with the sweetness of the fat. What is a fierce horse without calling it a fierce horse? By the way, I think it's an ant to eat this with vinegar and mustard like dumplings.

3rd place: Keema curry bun (120 yen / Lawson)


A curry bun with keema curry based on boiled pork wrapped in dough. It seems that it is finished with particular attention to the flavor of spices, such as adding Garam masala to the secret flavor.

The dough is thick and elastic enough to bounce off even when pressed tightly against the iron plate when baking. When you bake it until the surface becomes golden brown and eat it, the fragrance of the crispy dough, the faint sweetness, and the spiciness of the authentic keema curry packed inside are the best match!

A Chinese steamed bun that uses two types of roast pork and thigh meat, mixed with sliced long onion and charred green onion oil, and wrapped in dough. The char siu pork is very sweet and spicy, and has a slightly strong flavor. The size is a little smaller than others.
