I love working on macrobiotic versions of my regular recipes.

Use any ingredients you like for the filling. The seasoning for this recipe is not strong, so adjust it to your liking. [When making this in a fry pan] Place baking parchment paper under the buns and fry them in medium heat. When the bottom of the buns are browned, pour water in the pan to about 1 cm high, cover the pan with a lid and steam for about 20 minutes. Be careful not to burn yourself! If you have filling left over, use it for fried rice or gyoza-dumplings. Recipe by Engel

  5. 5

    Strain excess water from the tofu by placing a weight on top of the tofu. (You can also briefly microwave the tofu.) Finely chop up the rest of the ingredients.

    Then stick both left and right sides of the dough together to the middle.
