Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Canned young green jackfruit
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Carrots, julienned
- 0.25 cup Green onions, chopped
Instructions
In a bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2.5 teaspoons of instant yeast, and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Add 1 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm location for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Drain and rinse 2 cups of canned young green jackfruit, then shred it with a fork or chop finely.
In a pan over medium heat, combine the shredded jackfruit with 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is well-cooked and flavors meld. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
Stir in 0.5 cup of julienned carrots and 0.25 cup of chopped green onions. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the cooled jackfruit filling into the center of each dough circle, gather the edges together, and pinch to seal.
Place each filled bun seam-side down on a piece of parchment paper.
Fill a steamer with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and steam the buns in batches for 15-20 minutes until puffed and cooked through.
Serve warm and enjoy your vegan roast 'pork' steamed buns!
