Huajuan are steamed buns shaped in a twist (their name literally translates to “flower twist”) and flavored with an aromatic sesame oil-scallion glaze.
My mom taught me how to make them, and they’re just so fluffy and warm and delicious—they taste like home to me. Here is the recipe I use: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/ginger-scallion-lobster-bao-recipe

Very cool, I’ve never heard of these before.
Yumm!! These look delicious!
I LOVE these. Every time I’m in China it’s all I’ll eat (well, these and 馒头). Will try this recipe, thanks!
Gorgeous!!
My mom used to make these for me. Good times
