Pan-fried pork buns, also known as shengjian bao, are a popular street food in Shanghai and a favorite at dim sum restaurants. These buns are made with a yeast-based dough that is filled with a mixture of ground pork, ginger, and seasonings. The buns are then pan-fried until the bottom is golden and crispy, while the top remains soft and fluffy. The combination of the crispy bottom and the juicy pork filling is simply irresistible. Pan-fried pork buns are often served with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil. They are a delicious and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed as a snack or as part of a dim sum meal.
