Bakpao, a soft and fluffy steamed bun with roots in China, made its way to Indonesia centuries ago where it became a beloved street food. Based on a family recipe, this vegan version swaps in plant-based mince and smoky vegan bacon bits, all seasoned with ketjap manis, sambal oelek, and a blend of aromatic spices. These fluffy buns are perfect for snacking or a quick meal (and also great to batch-make and freeze!).

Are there recommended brands for the vegan mince or are options impossible meat or beyond meat?

Hi there, Nikki! Impossible and Beyond are great options, although you can use any other brand of plant-based minces you enjoy. Perhaps just avoid the "smoked" products as they may impart an overpowering flavour. Flavoured finely crumbled tofu might even work in a pinch too 🤗✨
