Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant dry yeast, sugar, salt, and roasted sesame seeds. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm soy milk and toasted sesame oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms, then knead on a floured surface until smooth. Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 2 hours, until doubled.
- Make the Filling: While the dough is rising, soak the vermicelli noodles in boiling water for 7-8 minutes until soft, then drain and chop. In a skillet, add a drizzle of neutral oil and sauté chopped scallions, carrots, and shredded cabbage for 4-5 minutes. Stir in chopped noodles, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt, then remove from heat to cool.
- Form the Buns: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air, then divide it into 12-16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a flat round wrapper about 4 inches in diameter. Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold dough over the filling and pinch edges tightly to seal.
- Cook the Buns: In a non-stick skillet, heat neutral oil over medium heat. Arrange buns with the creased side down, ensuring they don’t touch. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until bottoms are golden brown. Add 4 tablespoons of water to the pan, cover with a lid to steam for 5-6 minutes until water evaporates and buns are cooked.
- Serve: Transfer cooked buns to a serving plate. Best enjoyed warm, with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, sugar, chili flakes, and sesame seeds.

Notes
Seal tightly to avoid spilling filling, and lightly dust surfaces with flour to prevent sticking while rolling out dough.
