Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 15 grams Sugar
• 5 grams Salt
• 150 milliliters Water
• 30 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 100 grams Cabbage, finely chopped
• 50 grams Green peas
• 1 small Green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 10 milliliters Soy sauce
• 2 grams Black pepper
• 5 grams Salt (for filling)
• 15 milliliters Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Gradually add water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion turns translucent.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.

Step 10

Flatten each portion slightly and place a generous spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center.

Step 11

Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a bun. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 12

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.

Step 13

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 14

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade vegetable buns warm!
