Steam buns, often called bao, are pillowy-soft dumplings. Ours are filled with a juicy bulgogi-inspired vegan meatball. The tender bread and the mouth-watering filling are the most amazing combination. These freeze beautifully and are perfect to take as an on-the-go snack.

Could I use lentils instead of beyond meat mince?Any spices to add if I do that? Processed mock meats don't agree with me.

Hey Janelle, that's a fun idea! We imagine you could, although for extra flavour, perhaps sauté them with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, or in a pinch of gochugaru before mixing with the green onions and bulgogi sauce. Mash the lentils well, or blend with a food processor to help achieve a texture that can be formed into balls. Maybe also add some sesame oil. Let us know how it goes if you test it out 🤗

Would love to try these, but I don’t have a steamer basket. Is there something i can use instead?

Hey Hanni! You can bake these as well. Bake them at 350°F (180°C) for about 25 minutes, or until golden. They won't have the same fluffy, squishy texture, but they will still be delicious ☺️
