Vegan Char Siu Bao with Seitan

[@Fabdanc]

I just want to say... I have been waiting my whole life for this recipe. My lifecycle is complete. I can die now.

[@mariestark392]

Lol

[@nhyle4947]

sameeeeee T.T

[@SamElle]

omg I grew up on char sieu baos growing up!!! THEY WERE MY FAVORITE

[@thatcoldtaxi]

These look amazing. I grew up in Chicago and my dad would bring home charsiu bao and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf every time he had a work call anywhere near China town. Now, many years later with him passed and no longer living in an area with access to such deliciousness I’m excited to be able to try this at home! Thank you for your diligent testing! It’s always worth the wait for your recipes. ❤️

[@Razevixen]

[@minivegana6516]

Thank you so much!🙏❤️🕊

[@selenamoreno7689]

I'm living for this!! I love how you explain things too!! I can't explain something to someone without sound effects!! Lol

[@Thevietvegan]

I’m glad y’all appreciate how verbose I am 😂

[@careTWOdance]

Pre-coffee Lisa! Haha! Char siu bao was one of my FAVORITE dim sum items and I'm so happy there are vegan versions. I made the one from Mary's Test Kitchen and I am so excited to try your version. Thank you for sharing!

[@YourNotesEchoedFar]

Your videos are always cute, but your "Don't burn yourself on the steam, please.

[@sumsum002]

Fluffy bao for the win !! !!!!!!

[@gregcleveland8806]

Amazing. Can’t wait to try!

[@jbv717]

[@zzzwy777]

Beautiful

[@jessicac3951]

this has been the video and recipe i've been waiting for

[@linzertube]

Wow, Lisa! An awesome amount of work, but they look so outstandingly delicious! You win in the perseverance department.👏🤩✨

[@CarJul666]

Your eye makeup and eyebrows are gorgeous! 🥰 The lipstick is definitely your colour! And the recipe looks delicious.

[@Thevietvegan]

Thank you so much!!

[@billyrussell7789]

omg it looks soo good!!! can’t wait to get the recipe🤤

[@monifrohlich]

Samee❤️

[@rn2787]

Good food is always worth the wait.

[@Fuhrmaaj]

Oh wow Lisa, you killed it!

[@juliadolfodecastro784]

Siu bao is called siopao in the Philippines. I havent eaten siopao for a long time. So i'm excited to try this! Thank you!

[@evileyelash8094]

This was incredible! Love it!

[@saskiavisser8988]

WOW when your gorgeous make up matches the filling of your dish!!!

[@rbenjamin1429]

Great video 🥰

[@Samantha_MV]

Oh heck yeah! They look so delicious!

[@generallygenna]

This looks amazing! I’ve been looking for a recipe that does Char Siu Bao justice. Definitely trying this soon!

[@LoanNguyen-js6zd]

chasiu buns are my boys' favorite. maybe i should try to make this for them.

[@perfectflaw75]

Those look delicious! I was one of those kids who cut parchment paper into even squares when I was little 😁 and my mom used to flip them baos upside down before putting them on the paper.

[@MB-xd4ho]

This video was SO worth the wait!! I can’t wait to try the filling - I‘ve already tried the dough recipe from the last bao recipe and it was so freaking good...the filling too but the dough just blew me away. My Asian grocery store has vegan pork belly (the „fatty“ parts are made from agar agar), maybe that would work in this bao too 🤔

[@Thevietvegan]

Omg that sounds so cool!! You should def try it with that :o

[@TuyetTran-zb1kx]

I love your video con 😘 looking good and yummy 😋 will do. Thank you ❤️🌹😘

[@nelliedimarco98]

this looks so good omfg... they honestly look like the ones from zen gardens 10000%

[@Thevietvegan]

The ones from Zen Gardens have like a stiffer, sweeter dough but the filling was what I was after! The balance for the sauce they have is so good and is what I tried to emulate here :D

[@GlitterySawa]

Baos Chaos im here for it ❤❤

[@vanamarkarian]

They look amazing..💕💕

[@DonnaDenim]

Dang those look good!

[@felicitynguyen6402]

This looks AMAZING 😍

[@marcya4428]

Lisa omg these look fantastic

[@spanishDoll1]

I was waiting for this

[@kindredmario1640]

She is hilarious. I died in the baby in the soy milk analogy! 😂😂😂

[@nikowearden252]

omg I cant wait to try this!

[@deborah1782]

Omg I cannot wait to try making these

[@kiaanee]

looks so good !

[@Princess_Francesca]

Kevin Bakin'! You're amazing hahaha.

[@laurenwells778]

I made these this weekend! Making the washed seitan was almost therapeutic. My pleating definitely needs some work 😅 but holy shit these were delicious! I frozen the left over seitan and might make them again next weekend 😁

[@headspacedeficit]

The trick to the bao is a 5 minute resting time? Everytime I ask my mom, she's just, "Until it's done"

[@Thevietvegan]

Hahaha my mom says that too, but never explains how you know its done XD

[@EvadoCouto]

LMAO I love how true this is across cultures. My mom is Brazilian and every time I call home with a question it’s “until it looks right” “until it smells right” “you’ll know when it’s done” 😅❤️🥰

[@hyediehashimoto735]

aaaah!! I'm totally trying this!!

[@simpking01]

can’t wait to make thisv

[@LindsayBouie]

This looks amazing!

[@fleurmp3820]

These look incredible. Could you make the seitan a day ahead? I have never tried making seitan or these type of filled buns x

[@Thevietvegan]

Yep! I def made them ahead of time, I let it rest for about 8 hrs overnight before cutting em up for these buns

[@eszterkohary9692]

Off topic: You’re so beautiful and of course your recipes are absolutely amazing. 😊💚

[@ivylovesrunning]

I miss these so much! I haven't had them since going vegan. 😭

[@spanishDoll1]

Omg I'm on time

[@mumssimplerecipes4245]

WOW

[@martineo9638]

Funny we call those types of buns bapao (or perhaps they are a bit different, but basically they are steamed and filled buns) and thanks for the seitan recipe!!!! For the first time ever I liked seitan!!!!

[@elisabethwerner7629]

Hi Lisa, this looks amazing! Do you think the dough would work with a gluten free flour blend? Thank you ☺️

[@davepunkt1232]

Unfortunately, Seitan is pure gluten.😅 You can use pea protein or soy cules instead. 😉

[@MsBeckly]

Thank you! Looks so delicious! Have you tried freezing them (before steaming, like dumplings) for later? Wondering if that would work well. Would want to make a big batch but I live alone so I’d like to save some.

[@Thevietvegan]

I think the best time to freeze them is after you steam them, I’m not confident the yeast will survive the freezer

[@MsBeckly]

@@Thevietvegan Thank you ❤️

[@animatedolly]

This would be good with vegan Chinese red pork recipe I have ;) made with vital wheat gluten though and a load of marinating before hand

[@Thevietvegan]

That sounds pretty dope!!

[@ascetic3312]

Looks great. I would have been the one to cut up those pieces of paper, but my mom never made these for some reason. Probably just too labor intensive for her to bother with, I guess, or maybe just a regional thing where she didn't grow up having/making these in her village.

[@vivianismmm]

Can you make a nem nuong seitan? That would be AMAZING.

[@Thevietvegan]

I’m working on one! But Ive been experimenting with Impossible and Beyond

[@vivianismmm]

@@Thevietvegan YES!!!!! This is my dream

[@bad1788]

Ok. Where is this seitan recipe because that looks devine.

[@Thevietvegan]

Its in the blog post!

[@LaurenVacula]

i am so curious about the pan! I'm shopping for new ones right now and am so freaking confused

[@animatedolly]

I don’t have wine at my home as I don’t drink what do u suggest to replace the cooking wine?

[@Thevietvegan]

Hmm I’m not too sure. It has a distinct like, bitter and fermented flavour. You could try subbing unseasoned mirin (so not the sweet cooking one)? Or maybe like 1 tbsp white vinegar and 1 tbsp broth?

[@YeetusTheFetus]

How would you adapt this recipe if you’re using vital wheat gluten?

[@Thevietvegan]

Instead of which? The filling?

[@jaynesixx2185]

Seitan 🤤

[@karrydinh7464]

This looks so so good. I'm so so sad I have no motivation to make my own seitan lmao

[@InTheSix22]

wibbly wobbly haha

[@MrNioMoon]

Yay!

[@yazzy6762]

😍😍

[@graypaint]

was that "wibbly" word you're looking for "gelatinous" ?

[@meanngirl]

I miss Mary's Test Kitchen

[@indicakween]

i’m hawaiian and grew up of these 🤤 except it was chicken teriyaki inside

[@Thevietvegan]

Ooooh I should make teriyaki to go insideeeee

[@PA-3579]

Истина в простоте

[@pythonicinertia7881]

I'm gonna be lazy and try this by breaking up linda mccartney burgers for the protein :)

[@teresatam4247]

Where is the recipe?

[@Thevietvegan]

thevietvegan.com/vegan-char-siu-bao/

[@clairecourter1436]

Not gonna lie, the Seitan looks like an anemic placenta, but I love it.

[@mykneeshurt8393]

I love these things but hate how the filling always falls into my lap....

[@Scott65J]

wow...pre-coffee me is rarely standing upright unaided...

[@Thevietvegan]

Hahaha pre-coffee Lisa is similar to Hangry or chaos energy Lisa XD
