Yuncheng Pan-Fried Buns

　　One of the famous snacks in southwestern Shandong, these buns are flat and round, golden brown on both top and bottom, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, offering a delightful taste. Depending on the filling, they come in various types such as mutton, pork, and vegetarian pan-fried buns. The fillings, whether meat or vegetable, are all seasoned with scallions, ginger, five-spice powder, sesame oil, and fine salt. The dough is made from fermented wheat flour. The buns are placed in a specially designed flat-bottomed pan for a short time, then a thin batter of flour and water is added, followed by a drizzle of sesame oil. After flipping them once, they are ready to be served. With their golden color and unique aroma, they are highly popular among locals.
