Steamed Noodle Rolls

These fragrant scallion and cilantro steamed rolls are a delicious twist on traditional Chinese buns, bursting with fresh herbal flavors and a soft, chewy texture. The recipe combines a simple dough made with hot water for extra tenderness, rolled with a savory mix of scallions, cilantro, and optional five-spice powder for depth. Steaming locks in moisture, creating pillowy layers perfect for dipping in the homemade spicy garlic sauce—a fiery blend of chili oil, crushed garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar. What makes these rolls special is the balance of aromatic greens, fluffy dough, and the bold dipping sauce that ties it all together. Easy to customize, they’re ideal as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Serve them fresh from the steamer for the best taste and texture!

Since I have a lot of dough, I will divide it into two portions to process. Sprinkle flour on the operating table, take half of the dough, and roll it into a large sheet using a rolling pin. Brush a thin layer of oil on the dough, then sprinkle salt, and spread it evenly with your hands. Finally, sprinkle the scallion and cilantro mixture from step 1 on top.

For the dipping sauce, also known as spicy water, start by flattening the garlic with a knife, put it in a container, sprinkle salt, and crush it into a paste using a garlic press. Add a small amount of cold water, add 2 tablespoons of chili powder on top, do not stir, and let the chili powder float on the surface. Then heat a pot with cold oil, pour it over the chili powder after boiling, and add vinegar, soy sauce, and monosodium glutamate. Stir well, and add more salt if the flavor is not salty enough.
