Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm soy milk and sesame oil, mixing until a rough dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 2 hours.
  2. Soak the vermicelli noodles in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Drain and chop. In a skillet, heat neutral oil over medium heat, then sauté scallions, carrots, and cabbage for 6-8 minutes. Stir in noodles and soy sauce and cook until tender; let cool.
  3. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into 12-16 pieces. Roll each into a ball and flatten into circles about 3-5 inches wide. Keep covered with a towel.
  4. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper, fold and pinch to secure. Ensure they are tightly closed.
  5. Heat neutral oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Fry buns for about 3-4 minutes until golden. Add water and cover to steam for 5-6 minutes until fluffy.
  6. Remove buns from the pan and serve hot with dipping sauces if desired.
