Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp instant dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
  • 1 cup warm soy milk
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil for cooking
  • 6 cups raw shredded cabbage
  • 3.5 oz uncooked bundles of vermicelli noodles
  • 1 cup finely shredded or grated carrot
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions or chives
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Create a well at the center and add warm soy milk and sesame oil. Mix until a dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough into a ball and let it rest covered with a damp towel for at least two hours.
  3. Cook vermicelli noodles according to package instructions; then chop them into small pieces. Sauté scallions, cabbage, and carrots in oil until tender. Combine with noodles, soy sauce, and salt. Drain excess moisture.
  4. Divide rested dough into equal pieces and roll them out into circles. Fill each wrapper with about two tablespoons of the vegetable mixture and pinch to seal.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; place buns creased-side down and cook until golden brown on both sides. Add water to create steam and cover until cooked through.
