Vegan Steamed Bao Buns

Vegan Steamed Bao Buns

What if I tell you that these pretty little things are not only pretty delicious but also pretty easy to make? PRETTY cool, huh?

And you know what’s even better? I didn’t even have to go grocery shopping to make them, I had all of the ingredients I used in this recipe at home. This feels as amazing as surprisingly finding the lost avocado you bought 1 1/2 weeks ago after it has gotten lost and seeing that it hasn’t gone bad yet, but actually has the perfect softness.

The kind of moment where you make a subtle body roll while saying to yourself “uuuuh yeaaaaa”

Equipment

  • dough roll
  • dough cutter 4 inch/10 cm
  • Steamer
  • parchment paper

Ingredients

For The Dough

For The Filling

For Garnishing

  • 1 spring onion finely minced

Instructions

For The Dough

  • Start by mixing together sugar, yeast and warm water. Stir and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime combine the rest of the ingredients for the dough. After 10 minutes, add the yeast water. Knead the dough until it comes together and is smooth.
  • Take a large bowl and coat it with some oil. Now form a ball and place it into the bowl. Drizzle a little bit of oil (about 1 tsp) onto the dough ball and coat it evenly. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and cover it with a kitchen towel. Heat the oven to 80 F°/28 C° and place the bow into it. Let it rise there until doubled in size (for about 1 hour).

Make The Bao Buns

  • Get your steamer ready: And while it's heating up, prepare the buns.
  • After the dough has doubled in size: Sprinkle some flour onto your kitchen counter and place the dough ball on top. Knead it for a couple of seconds until it is smooth again.
  • Take a dough roll and roll out the dough, about 1/4 inch / 0,6 cm thick.
  • Take the cookie cutter and cut out the dough disks. Brush some oil onto the top and fold them in the middle. Lightly and with out a lot of pressure roll over them with your dough roll. Put each of them onto a piece of parchment paper and place into the steamer when it's ready. Steam for about 12 minutes.
  • While the buns are steaming: make the filling.

For The Filling

  • Take a medium bowl and add butter, ginger, garlic, onion and spring onion to it. On low medium heat sautée until tender (for about 5 minutes). Then add the oyster mushrooms. On medium heat, fry until golden brown (for about 7-10 minutes).
  • In the meantime prepare the marinade: Simply mix together all of the remaining ingredients for the filling.
  • When the oyster mushrooms are golden brown, add the marinade to it and continue to cook it on low medium heat, for another 10-15 minutes. When done, turn the stove to the lowest temperature and keep the pan where it is: All you do is to keep it warm while you prepare the bao buns.

Fill The Bao Buns

  • When the buns are done, take them out of the steamer (careful: HOT) and fill them with the fried oyster mushrooms.
  • Sprinkle some finely minced spring onion on top. Serve while hot.
  • DONE

Notes

You can reheat them in the microwave. They will be good for 3 days.
