Ham Chim Peng (咸煎饼) | Salted Bun | Salted Red Bean Ham Chim Peng | Fried Savory Dough

Mix all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.

Add water gradually and knead until a smooth dough forms.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.

In a separate bowl, combine red bean paste, cooked ham, and chopped scallions.

Divide the risen dough into equal portions and flatten each into a disc.

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each disc.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal tightly.

Dust each bun with cornstarch to prevent sticking.

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

Place the buns in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Add a splash of water to the skillet and cover immediately.

Steam the buns for 8-10 minutes until fluffy and cooked through.

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes to crisp the bottom.

Serve warm with soy sauce for dipping.
