This snack combines the characteristics of baked buns and Beijing-style dim sums. The filling is mixed with oil and then added to the dough, which is then cooked on a hot griddle. The snack is a light golden color and is larger than a typical dim sum but smaller than a regular baked bun. It is best enjoyed hot in a restaurant. The pastry is crispy, fragrant, and not greasy, making it a great choice for breakfast or late-night snacks. Halal pastry is prepared using sesame oil.
