Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 10 ounces Plant-based chicken
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 Carrot, grated
- 1 cup Cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by heating sesame oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the plant-based chicken, soy sauce, green onions, grated carrot, and cabbage.
Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the flavors are well combined. Season with black pepper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Flatten each portion into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the plant-based chicken filling in the center of each dough circle.
Wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal it and form a bun.
Let the buns rest for about 15 minutes while preparing a steamer.
Steam the buns over boiling water for 12-15 minutes until they are cooked through and fluffy.
Serve the buns warm and enjoy your delicious vegan homemade chicken buns.
