In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion turns translucent.
Add grated carrot, chopped cabbage, green peas, and green bell pepper to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
Stir in soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Flatten each portion slightly and place a generous spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center.
Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a bun. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Place the buns seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 15-20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade vegetable buns warm!
