This is another recipe for buns. The taste changes depending on how you cook them! These griddle-cooked or pan-fried buns are just as soft and fluffy as steamed buns, and they are hard to mess up too! They're easier and quicker to make than steamed buns!

If the buns are hard to wrap, reduce the amount of filling.
The chopped chives tend to become soggy, so mix them into the filling just before you form the buns. For 4 servings, 12 buns. Recipe by Masako Bishoku
