10 Must-Collect Street Food
Lin Ji’s Shanghai Pan-Fried Buns
Is anyone else a huge fan of pan-fried buns like me? Lin Ji’s Shanghai Pan-Fried Buns are incredibly popular, so you always get them piping hot right out of the steamer. The filling is made with lean pork hind leg meat, providing a chewy texture. The marinated filling has a savory-sweet taste, and the outer layer is not too thick, offering a satisfying chewiness. It tightly seals in the juicy essence of the scallion-flavored pork filling. Paired with the crispy and fragrant bottom layer, these pan-fried buns are delicious even without dipping sauce. For those who enjoy crunchy cabbage, you can opt for the potstickers with more vegetables, boasting a generous and flavorful filling.
