Description
Hua juan (花卷, literally flower rolls) are yeasted steamed rolls made by rolling a thin sheet of dough with an oil, salt, and scallion (or sesame paste) filling, cutting into strips, stacking two strips together and twisting to create the characteristic rolled, layered flower shape. They are softer and more aromatic than mantou and are served alongside braised dishes, soups, and hot pots throughout northern China. The twisted shape creates pockets of filling between the dough layers, visible when the roll is pulled apart.
