Method
Preparation Steps
Making the Buns
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix warm water and olive oil. Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
Preparing the Filling
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground vegan protein. Stir in soy sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, ginger powder, and chopped green onions. Cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
Preparing the Sauce
3. In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, and water until smooth. Set aside.
Assembling the Buns
4. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, flatten it slightly, and add a spoonful of the filling in the center. Seal the buns by folding the edges over the filling and pinching to secure.
Cooking the Buns
5. Steam the filled buns for about 15-20 minutes until fluffy. Allow to cool slightly.
Serving
6. Serve the buns topped with the sweet savory sauce and extra chopped green onions.
