Author Notes
Inspired by Eventide Oyster Co.'s lobster rolls on steamed buns, I made my mom's hua juan (steamed scallion buns) and stuffed them with a ginger scallion lobster salad. You can find the hua juan recipe here: https://food52.com/recipes...
If you'd rather not make your own scallion steamed buns, you can just make regular steamed buns or buy them from an Asian grocery store, but I highly recommend making the hua juan. Not only are they super pretty, the additional flavor really accentuates the ginger scallion lobster! —Joy Huang | The Cooking of Joy
