Wuhan also has its own fried buns, they call their fried buns "soda buns", soda buns and the first two fried buns have similarities, both use steaming and frying combined with cooking buns, but there are slight differences in filling and production process.

Put the soda bag in the pot, add oil and water, cover the pot and simmer, the water vapor is responsible for steaming the fried bag, and the oil is responsible for frying. The soda packets should be fried on both sides until browned, and in order to prevent frying, the lid should be constantly lifted and turned during the frying packets. The freshly cooked soda packet is plump, oily and shiny. The soda bun has three traditional fillings, namely glutinous rice and shiitake mushrooms, lotus flour and lotus root, and the fillings are seasoned with pepper, which is unique to Wuhan. Soda packets are sold by the number of pieces, about one yuan each, and the price is affordable and easy to fill. It is worth mentioning that many long-established shops that have been doing regular customer business all year round will use old noodles to make soda packets. The soda packets made by Lao Mian are delicate, chewy, and have a hint of sweet aftertaste, which is worth trying.
