Steamed Tofu and Vegetable Buns (Macrobiotic & Vegan Recipe)

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

[Shape] Roll out the dough into a round shape using a rolling pin. Roll out into about a thickness of 5 mm.

You can just mix all the ingredients up at room temperature.It's probably not possible to steam the buns all at once, so you can steam half and pan fry half to enjoy the buns in two ways.
