- Heat cooking oil in a frying pan, place the rolls seam side down, you can cover and steam to cook them through for a couple of minutes, then make sure to flip the rolls so that all sides are cooked equally crisp and brown.
- Add and coat with A, sprinkle with a few pinches of corn or potato starch, and stop the heat when the sauce thickens.
- When they are cool enough to handle, cut one side to let show the beautiful flower shape.
