These no-knead mini pancakes and dumpling wrapper buns are a delightful addition to any breakfast. Serve them with soy milk and a bowl of warm porridge for a complete and nutritious meal. My kids, who usually avoid vegetables, absolutely love these buns and often compete to get more. They are simple to make and delicious.

Instructions
Prepare the Black Fungus Mushrooms: Soak 1 cup of dried black fungus mushrooms in a bowl with enough water for about 30 minutes. Then shred them.
Prepare the Vegetables: Grate 150g of zucchini and 100g of carrot. I recommend using a grater with the smallest shredding holes to make the shreds as fine as possible; otherwise, they can be difficult to wrap. Mix the grated vegetables with 1 teaspoon of salt and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water.
Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, carrot, 1 cup of scrambled eggs, and the blanched black fungus mushrooms (blanch for 2-3 minutes). Add 20g of green onions and 1 tablespoon of dried shrimp. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of chicken bouillon powder, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well with chopsticks. The vegetable filling is now ready.
Prepare the Dumpling Wrappers: Use a rolling pin to flatten the dumpling wrappers. Place a dumpling wrapper on a board and press it with the rolling pin to make it larger.
Fill and Shape the Buns: Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of the dumpling wrapper. Wrap it like a bun, then gently press it flat with both hands. Flattening them makes them cook more evenly. Repeat the process until all the buns are filled and shaped.
Pan-Fry the Buns: Brush oil on a frying pan and place the dumpling wrapper buns in it. Pan-fry over low heat until the surface is golden brown, flipping with chopsticks halfway through.
