on this beautiful day we're going to make, gorgeous, Chinese style

steamed mushroom buns with gorgeous steamed greens

It's vegan, it's vegetarian

It's full of all the good stuff and really really healthy.

Sound good? Let's do it.

We're going to start with dried mushrooms, Chinese style-y

Cover those with a little boiling water

Let that re-hydrate for just a couple of minutes

and it kind of gives like a kind of

deep broth-y flavour that I absolutely love

So let's get cooking. We've got about 500g of chestnut mushrooms

but you really could use any mushrooms you can get

Mushrooms are a brilliant source of vitamin D and B

I'm just gonna like literally rip them up

So we're going to start to dry fry those mushrooms

then we go in with just a tablespoon of sesame oil

Ginger, just a thumb sized piece, my thumb.

Not your thumb, my thumb. Slice up this ginger

Definitely to my vegan and vegetarian brothers and sisters

You know this is vegan, this happy, happy cooking right here

Carry on tossing

And then I'm using coriander, we'll have the leaves for later

the storks just finely chopped, go in. Gorgeous, look at that.

I'll slice up these dried mushrooms, you can see they're nice and soft now

One little handful will make a lovely difference

Here you've got this kind of little broth

Really, really big flavour. Don't worry about the moisture because what we want to do is cook

that lovely mushroom broth away

You can see it almost evaporating as we talk

See the little bubbles there

So here we are, been cooking for about 4 minutes

So first up a little rice wine vinegar

about a tablespoon

Gives it a little tang and I like that, I like that a lot.

and then a little seasoning with a light soya sauce

Have a nice little toss up, turn the heat off.

Couple of spring onions and chilli

Add that to you own preference okay.

So that is our filling guys and you can see this happens in pretty much in five minutes

Just run your knife through it

Next up let's make these beautiful buns

This recipe I've developed is so so simple

In a bowl we're going to go in with one tin

of coconut milk, this is a beautiful measurement

and I'm going to do a heaped tin of self raising wholemeal flour

cause I want it to be really sort of healthy, full of goodness

So the next one, regular white self raising flour. So in we go.

and then we want to lightly season this dough

Take a little fork, mix it around and you will make a lovely little dough

It's going to be a little bit darker than your traditional one

because of the whole wheat flour but it will still be nice and light and fluffy

I'm going to roll it out to an even sausage. Cut it in half.

because we want to divide it into 12

So we've got these lovely balls, they take no time to do at all.

Stuffing them is quite simple. You just take one of your little buns

Just pat it, you can stretch it a bit, it's quite forgiving

In the palm of your hand you make a natural

little dip, nice two heaped spoons

of these gorgeous filling

Goes in, it's really simple, not technical at all

just bring up the sides and pinch it

Now remember you have a raising agent in here

And as it cooks it will sponge up and it'll find it's natural, smooth, gorgeous sort of spherical shape

What I quite like to do is put it into these sort of large muffin papers

Okay it kind of does the job

So for a couple of minutes I'm just going to do that and then we can cook them

and there's the very last gorgeous little steamed bun

I have a wok here, I put about an inch

of water in the bottom here, turn that onto full whack

I want to get a celebration of greens going

We've got choy sum here, what I like to do is just bend it literally around our little steamer

You can put some lovely asparagus in,

sprouting brocollis, purple brocollis

all of these veggies are super high in vitamin C

you know antioxidants, you know so good

So look I'm going to put that on a high heat

steam helps to save nutrients when you're cooking veggies

So those veggies, I only want to cook those for about 4 - 4 and half minutes

And then those buns, 12 minutes

It's beautiful, time to serve up, I've got some lovely sweet chilli sauce here

fresh chilli there, toasted sesame seeds, spring onions, coriander

I've got some soy sauce here, I've got some hoisin, just have fun

Look, ones burst open becasse it was so excited

We've got our lovely greens, look at the colour there, just still full of life

Look at this.

Really beautiful

It's truly tasty and even though we've got the wholewheat in there

it's a little heavier but it's still soft and fluffy

which is really, really important, yum

Proper sort of comfort, naughty food but it's all, really, really healthy
