Golden Pan-Fried Egg-Coated Mantou Slices
On the first day of the May Day holiday, I woke up slowly after a long sleep, and going out to find food was no longer an option. Luckily, I still had some frozen items in the fridge — I took out the steamed buns, gave them a quick tweak, and paired them with soybean […]

Cooking StepsHow to cook Golden Pan-Fried Egg-Coated Mantou Slices step by step
-
Step 1Slice the 2 mantou into pieces and set aside.
-
Step 2Prepare a plate of plain water. Lightly dip each mantou slice into the water — just a quick touch, don’t soak it. The egg coating will absorb some moisture later, so a light dip is enough.
-
Step 3Beat 3 eggs with salt to taste. For a thicker, crispier egg coating, you can add one more egg. Coat each mantou slice evenly in the egg mixture.
-
Step 4Heat a flat pan and add peanut oil. Once the oil is hot, place the egg-coated mantou slices in the pan. Pan-fry over medium heat until both sides are golden and crispy.
-
Step 5A plate of crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside pan-fried mantou slices is ready. One bite and you’ll taste the savory fried egg and the soft mantou — pure childhood nostalgia. Pair it with some fermented bean curd for an extra treat. Absolutely delicious!
