In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add the plant-based ground meat to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart, until browned.
Stir in the soy sauce, grated carrot, cabbage, ground black pepper, and sesame oil. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Remove the filling from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions. Allow the filling to cool.
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it into a disc. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each disc.
Seal the edges by pinching the dough together at the top to encase the filling completely.
Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down, and let them rest for another 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy these delicious vegan savory meat buns.
