Creating Pan-Fried Cabbage & Noodle Buns is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add Cabbage: Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook until it wilts, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Mix in Noodles: Add the cooked noodles, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Assemble Buns: Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper in half, pinching to seal.
5. Repeat: Continue this process until all wrappers and filling are used.
6. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat additional oil over medium-high heat. You’ll need enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
7. Fry Buns: Place the buns in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
8. Add Water: Once browned, add a few tablespoons of water to the skillet and cover immediately. This will steam the buns and cook the filling through. Cook for 5 more minutes.
9. Remove and Serve: Carefully remove the buns from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

These steps will guide you in creating these incredible buns effortlessly.
