Mandarin roll

Mandarin rolls, steamed Mandarin rolls, flower buns, or huā juǎn (Chinese: 花捲/卷) are a kind of steamed bun that originate from northern China but are popular throughout the country.

[1] Like mantou, the mandarin roll is a dim sum dish and a staple of Chinese cuisine.

[4] The result is a lightly oily roll with a pillowy, fluffy texture and pleasant chew.

[5] Mandarin rolls are usually savory, thanks to the use of scallions, salt, and occasional addition of Chinese five spice in the filling.

Because southern varieties of mandarin rolls are slightly sweet, they can be eaten plain.
