Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 50 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 250 ml Warm water
- 50 ml Vegetable oil
- 300 grams Plant-based chicken substitute
- 30 ml Soy sauce
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 250 grams of all-purpose flour, 7 grams of instant yeast, 50 grams of sugar, and 10 grams of salt.
Gradually add 250 ml of warm water and 50 ml of vegetable oil to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling: heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent.
Add the plant-based chicken substitute, grated carrot, and green onions. Stir in 30 ml of soy sauce, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
Cook until the vegetables are tender and the mixture is heated through, roughly 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and knead it briefly.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disc.
Place about a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each disc, then gather the edges and pinch them together to seal the bun.
Place the filled buns on a parchment-lined baking tray, cover them with a cloth, and let rise for another 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your vegetarian homemade chicken buns!
