Divide the risen dough into small pieces and flatten each into a circle.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle.

Gather the edges of the dough and pinch to seal the filling inside.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Place the buns in the skillet, seam side down, and fry until golden, about 3-4 minutes.

Add chicken broth to the skillet, cover, and steam until the buns are cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to crisp the bottoms.

Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
