Fried Mantou, Shanghai

In Shanghai, people usually call Baozi (steamed bun with filling) Mantou, so fried Mantou , in fact, is fried Baozi. The semi-fermented paste is fried on the saucepan and water will be sprayed onto it several times during cooking. You'd better taste it in hot because at that time, the bottom is golden-colored and crispy, while the rest part is white and soft. The wonderful stuffing mixing fresh meat with sesame or scallion is especially wonderful.
