Wholewheat Vegetarian Char Siew Steamed Bun

It's rainy season again! What other better food to enjoy on this kind of weather? Something warm and comforting, of coz. Remember, I had something similar to this wholewheat steamed bun a week back. My neighbour bought it from somewhere (vegetarian shop) and gave me a packet of it. My boy loves it so much that he requested me to make this for him. So, here are they.....straight from the kitchen of My Little Space.

Ingredients :

Starter Dough
100ml lukewarm water
2-1/2 tspn yeast
1 tbsp sugar
130gm flour

**Main Dough
(A)
320gm flour
70gm wholewheat bran
100gm sugar
1/4 tspn salt

(B)
100ml water, room temperature
2 tspn baking powder
1/2 tspn vinegar

 (it's best to let the dough rest for an extra few more mins before steaming if room temperature lower than 30'C)


This kind of vegetarian BBQ meat can be easily found at any cold storage and is inexpensive at all. Hope you will love it too!
