Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Brush 2 large cookie sheets with canola oil. Unroll crescent dough; separate into 4 rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal. Brush rectangles with 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil. Top each rectangle with 3 tablespoons green onion; sprinkle with pepper. Starting with 1 long side of each rectangle, roll up. Cut each roll into 3 pieces. Twist each dough piece into 4-inch rope. Lightly coil each rope into small bun. On floured work surface, press each bun into 3-inch round. Place 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets. Brush buns with remaining sesame oil; sprinkle with sesame seed.
2 Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.
3 Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat spreadable fruit, water, soy sauce, ginger and vinegar over medium heat 3 minutes, stirring frequently, or until thoroughly heated; stir in red pepper. Transfer sauce to small serving bowl. Serve warm buns with sauce.

I made this for a progressive dinner with the neighbors. It was a hit-and easy to make.

Twisty and TASTY! And they look like you slaved in the kitchen all day, but they're really pretty easy.

These are much lighter than the ones you'd have in a restaurant. I love this recipe!

I liked the flavor of these rolls and the dip, because I love sesame oil. I think I would thicken the sauce a bit with cornstarch, but maybe then it wouldn't be authentic? Mine didn't look as pretty as the picture. I used a rolling pin to press them out, which I probably wasn't supposed to do, but it made them sort of crunchy at the edges, which was nice.
