Delicious and healthy Veggie Steamed Buns 素菜包子 

If you are not familiar with Chinese steamed buns or 包子 Baozi, then you are in for a treat! These are steamed yeast-leaven parcels of goodness can be filled with a variety of both savoury and sweet things.
In this rendition, I am using a green leafy vegetable called Yu Choy or yu cai 油菜. This literally translates to Oil vegetable because it’s in the family of vegetable that produces canola oil. The taste is a cross between a Chinese broccoli and a Bok Choy, tender and sweet and perfect for our steamed buns. But of course, you do you and substitute with whichever greens that you prefer or have access to.
Another umami bomb in this filling is the dried shiitake mushrooms. Not only do they add a deep savoury note, their texture adds a great meaty bite. Make sure to soak the mushrooms before hand and wash thoroughly.
