Mandarin rolls, also known as Steamed Mandarin rolls or Flower Buns, are a type of soft, fluffy steamed bun. They come from China. In Chinese, they are called Huā juǎn (Chinese: 花捲/卷), which means "flower roll."
These rolls are a popular part of Chinese cuisine. They are similar to white bread that you might find in Western countries. Mandarin rolls are cooked by steaming them, which makes them very light and airy.
Some types of Mandarin rolls, especially those from southern China, are a little sweet. This means you can enjoy them plain, without anything else. Sometimes, people like to eat them with sweetened condensed milk for an extra sweet treat.
Mandarin rolls are made from simple ingredients. These include wheat flour, water, sugar, soybean oil, vegetable shortening, milk powder, salt, yeast, and baking soda.
