Cooking Process:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n1. In a large mixing bowl, pour and combine the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, sugar, dry yeast, baking soda, salt); add shortening and mix well. Add warm water slowly at low speed until the flour mixture forms a soft dough. Knead by hand or rolling pin for 6 to 7 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Add the oil into the flour mixture and knead to a circular motion to form a ball of dough for 5 minutes. Gradually add a cup of water if the dough is very dry. Sprinkle plain flour on the surface and in your hands to have a smooth kneading. A dough scraper would help, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Brush avocado oil inside the mixing bowl and place the piece of dough inside. Set aside for 40-45 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. While waiting for the dough, start to make the tempeh filling by preheating the oven to 425\u00b0F. Get your baking sheet and line a piece of parchment paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Prepare a medium bowl and whisk together the lime zest, hoisin sauce, sriracha, and ginger. The first half should be tossed on the tempeh slices and the seconds half be reserved for serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Place the tempeh filling on the baking tray and cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes. You can also use bamboo steamers for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Get another piece of parchment paper and cut it into 4-inch squares placed on the baking sheet. This will be used for the buns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. Get the prepared dough and roll out into 1\/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle some flour if you find it hard to roll. Make sure to have a clean, dry, and smooth surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. Cut out circles of dough by using 3-4 inches of glass. Transfer balls of dough into the baking tray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
10. Brush the top with oil and fold it in half. Gently press down to flatten a bit to have a soft bun shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
11. Let it sit for an hour. Cover them with plastic wrap to avoid contamination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
12. After which, place them in a bamboo steamer or metal steamer and pour a cup of warm water or room-temperature water to boil. Cover and steam for 10 minutes. Make sure to has boiling water throughout the process of steaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13. Lastly, get half of the liquid filling. Squeeze a half teaspoon of lime over the carrot, cucumber, and avocado. Get the steamed buns and fill with a tablespoon of filling along with the other veggies and herbs. You can use barbecue pork if you do not want to have a lot of veggies on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14. Serve with some soy sauce for dipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other famous fillings are, pulled pork, pork belly or bbq pork. You can make smaller ones often used in chinese food and dim sum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
