overview for whatnots

so today's mushroom and tofu siopao turned out soooo much better than the batch i made the other day. last time i think i made the mistake of letting the dough dry out so they were very difficult to work with but this time i left them in a plastic container so they stayed soft and malleable while i was filling each one. i was able to stuff them with so much more filling too! idk i'm pretty proud of these ones!!!! :D

it was my first time making these and i struggled a bit with the dough and stuffing technique but they turned out tasty so it was all worth it! my partner ate them growing up and they really liked it so i'm very happy!!! i have lots of leftover filling so we're gonna make more tomorrow but now time for rest.

how'd i do it?

so for the filling i pan fried some crumbled extra firm tofu, diced dried shitake mushrooms, diced onion, minced garlic and ginger in oil. seasoned it with salt and pepper as well as a mixture of oyster mushroom sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and mushroom stock. then added a cornstarch slurry toward the end.

i basically followed this video (cw: not vegan / meat) but had to substitute the yeast entirely with baking powder cause i didn't have any on hand. i also made the dipping sauce from this video as well!

this has been our lunch for the past few days but it's all gone now. i already want to make more! i think this is my favorite sandwich and it's so easy to make too! 😋

how it's made

roasted a can of chickpeas in an oiled pan with some salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. as those were browning i diced one yellow onion and a quarter of a red pepper. then i transferred the chickpeas to a bowl and mashed a little more than half of them. added the onion and red pepper, and mixed it with tahini, dijon mustard, and vegan mayonnaise. topped it off with lemon juice and the sandwich filling was done! had it on some sourdough toast with lettuce!

just made this with my partner for lunch and it was so good. i'm not the best at stir frying yet but i'm quite happy with how this turned out! 😋

how it's made

we seasoned the boiled, rinsed, and squeezed soya chunks with some oyster mushroom sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, and cornstarch then fried it in a wok on medium high heat until it took on a nice colour and sear before removing them from the wok.

then i stir fried the onion and red pepper, added the cooked soya chunks back in then added the sauce and cornstarch slurry. the sauce had some oyster mushroom sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, sesame oil, siracha, apple-based vegan honey, and water. once the sauce coated everything nice and thick it was ready to be served with some rice!
