Put some oil in the pan, heat it up, put the steamed buns into the pan, fry over low heat until the bottom is a little hard, pour in thin flour water (less than 1/3 of the steamed buns), turn up the heat slightly, and then close the lid and simmer for about 10 minutes until the water dries.Pan-fried willow leaf buns Make Tips
1) Dissolve the sugar in boiling water. Wait for it to cool to about 35°C, then dissolve the yeast in the water and pour it into the flour. This will help the dough rise faster.
2) After turning off the heat, let it sit covered for 3 minutes before opening the lid. This makes the dough skin plumper and prevents it from shrinking.
3) Use a thin flour-water mixture instead of plain water. The bottom of the pan-fried buns will have a very thin, crispy layer. The ratio of flour to water is 1:10.
