My mom made this pan-fried meat buns few years ago when she visited me. She was trying out recipe and we both really liked them. The buns are filled with savory pork and chives and then pan-fried until golden brown and then steamed, all done in a pan. One of my favorite takes on the bun is a Shanghainese specialty called shengjian bao, made by taking regular pork-filled steamed buns and pan-frying them in gigantic woks. The result is a fantastically crisp and flavorful bottom crust paired with a bun that is still as fluffy and soft as ever.
