葱油蛋饼 Spring Onion Egg Buns

I've made pan fried spring onion pancake before but today's version the spring onion is filled inside the dough and shape into a flat bun rather than coiling up the dough up. Instead of just serving right away after pan frying, another spring onion omelette is being wrapping over the spring onion bun, therefore is called spring onion egg bun! It is a really filling snack, but I serve this to my family as lunch and the kids asked for more....with the egg one :D

Freshly fried spring onion buns, can be served instantly but wait....

....wrapped with an omelette (more spring onion added!)

First step for preparing the spring onion egg buns is of course is making the bread dough :) A lot of sesame oil is being added to the dough thus giving it a really nice flavour and fluffy texture. 

Spring onion fillings

Flatten each dough and wrapped in spring onions fillings. Seal edge tightly and flatten again.

Pan frying in hot oil.....

....till golden brown on both sides

top with an omelette before serving

absolutely delicious & satisfying!
