Bao Buns

Recipe made by Frederikke Fogtmann @veganskunivers. Soft Bao Buns with glazed TEMPTY and fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 12 bao buns

  • 1 pack Tempty Square

  • Cooking oil or fat for frying

  • Mayo

  • Pointed cabbage

  • Carrots

  • Cucumber

  • Spring onions

  • Chopped peanuts

  • Oat drink (or oat milk)

  • Cornstarch

  • Panko breadcrumbs

Glaze:

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp light syrup

  • 1.5 tbsp ketchup

  • 50 ml water

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Steps

  1. Prep the Tempty: Start by cutting the Tempty into smaller pieces.

  2. Set up the breading station: Prepare three bowls—one with the oat drink, one with cornstarch, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

  3. Bread the pieces: Coat the Tempty pieces by dipping them first in the cornstarch, then the oat drink, and finally the panko breadcrumbs.

  4. Fry until crispy: Fry them in a pan with oil until they are golden and very crispy. This should take about 6–8 minutes.

  5. Steam the buns: Place the bao buns in a bamboo steamer and let them steam for 15 minutes.

  6. Make the glaze: Combine all glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Whisk them together and bring to a boil until the mixture thickens. Set aside.

  7. Prep the vegetables: Finely slice the vegetables. Once the Tempty pieces are crispy, toss them in the glaze until well coated.

  8. Assemble: Build your bao buns by layering mayo, vegetables, the glazed Tempty pieces, and finally a sprinkle of chopped peanuts.
