Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook ground pork in a skillet over medium-high, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, ~30 seconds. Add brown sugar and soy sauce; stir until caramelized, ~2 minutes.
Step 3
Chop 2 green onions and fold into the filling. Cool for 1 minute.
Step 4
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Spoon 1 tbsp filling onto each triangle, roll tightly from wide end.
Step 5
Place buns seam-side down on a sheet pan. Brush with water and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
Step 6
Bake until golden brown, ~12 minutes. Slice remaining green onion over top before serving.
