Instructions
- 1
Start by activating the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar.
In a small bowl, combine warm water (not boiling), a pinch of sugar, and the yeast. Let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active. This step is crucial as it will help the dough rise.
- 2
Combine flour, yeast mixture, salt, and remaining sugar to make the dough.
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, the yeast mixture, a pinch of salt, and the remaining sugar. Mix everything together until it forms a sticky dough. Gradually add more flour if needed to achieve the right consistency, but be careful not to overdo it.
- 3
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth.
Kneading the dough is essential to develop the gluten, which will give the bao its chewy texture. Use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment or do it manually. If kneading by hand, make sure to knead for at least 10 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- 4
Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about an hour.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place. It should approximately double in size within an hour, depending on the temperature and yeast activity.
- 5
Prepare the filling by stir-frying all the vegetables in a bit of oil.
Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add all the chopped vegetables (cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, green onions) and stir-fry until they are softened but still crisp. Season with salt and any other desired seasonings. Let it cool down.
- 6
Punch down the dough and divide it into small balls.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air. Then, divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a small egg. These will be the individual bao.
- 7
Roll out each ball into a thin disk and place a spoonful of the vegetable mixture in the center.
Use a rolling pin to flatten each dough ball into a thin disk. Place a spoonful of the cooled vegetable mixture in the center of each disk. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, and press the edges together to seal the bao. Make sure they are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from coming out during steaming.
- 8
Steam the bao over boiling water for 15-20 minutes.
Place the bao in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each bao for even expansion. Steam over boiling water for 15-20 minutes, or until the bao are cooked through and fluffy.
- 9
Mix sriracha and mayonnaise to create the sriracha mayo sauce.
In a small bowl, combine the sriracha sauce and mayonnaise. Mix well until you get a smooth, spicy sauce. You can adjust the level of spiciness to your liking by adding more or less sriracha.
- 10
Serve the bao with the sriracha mayo sauce.
Once the bao are cooked, serve them with the sriracha mayo sauce on the side or drizzled on top. This sauce adds a creamy, spicy kick to the dish.

¡Estoy absolutamente enamorada de esta receta de bao de verduras con sriracha mayo! The combination of spicy sriracha sauce and creamy mayo is *¡una combinación divina!* As a spice lover, I was thrilled to see the sriracha mayo sauce recipe included - it's the perfect addition to these soft and fluffy bao. I was a bit skeptical about using yeast and letting the dough rise, but the end result was totally worth it. The fact that it's dairy-free is a huge plus for me, and I loved that I could easily substitute the mayo with a dairy-free alternative. The mix of stir-fried veggies is so colorful and flavorful, it's like a fiesta in your mouth! I'm definitely going to make this again and experiment with different fillings, maybe even adding some Mexican-inspired ingredients like chipotle peppers or avocado. ¡Este bao es una verdadera delicia! (This bao is a true delight!) If you're a fellow spice lover and street food enthusiast, you need to try this recipe ASAP. ¡Buen provecho!

I must commend the creator of this Vegetable Bao with Sriracha Mayo recipe. As a connoisseur of international cuisine, I appreciate the innovative fusion of Asian and Western flavors. The dish's complexity, requiring a 45-60 minute preparation time, resonated with my meticulous nature. The incorporation of sriracha mayo, a nod to modern culinary trends, was particularly intriguing. Given my lactose intolerance, I substituted the mayonnaise with a lactose-free alternative, ensuring the dish's accessibility for those with similar dietary constraints. The end result was truly delightful, with the bao's soft texture and the sriracha mayo's creamy spiciness harmonizing in a symphony of flavors. I would highly recommend this recipe to fellow food enthusiasts seeking to expand their gastronomic horizons.

This Vegetable Bao with Sriracha Mayo recipe caught my attention with its unique combination of Asian-inspired flavors and textures. As someone who's pescatarian and has a mild allergy to shellfish, I appreciate that this dish doesn't include any seafood. I was particularly excited to try out the sriracha mayo sauce, which adds a creamy and spicy kick to the bao. The recipe itself seems detailed and well-structured, which I appreciate as a detail-oriented person. I like that it breaks down the preparation and cooking process into manageable steps, making it easier to follow along. The ingredients are also relatively straightforward, and I appreciate that they're easily accessible. One thing that might be an issue for me is the use of mayonnaise in the sriracha mayo sauce. As someone who's lactose intolerant, I might need to substitute the mayonnaise with a non-dairy alternative. However, I'm willing to try out this recipe and see how it turns out. Overall, I think this Vegetable Bao with Sriracha Mayo recipe has a lot of potential, and I'm excited to give it a try. With some minor modifications to accommodate my dietary needs, I think this could be a great addition to my meal repertoire.

A most intriguing recipe for vegetable bao with sriracha mayo. As a connoisseur of French cuisine, I appreciate the delicate balance of flavors and textures in this Asian-inspired dish. The combination of stir-fried vegetables and spicy sriracha mayo sauce is quite appealing. However, I must admit that I would have preferred a dairy-free alternative to mayonnaise to accommodate my lactose intolerance. Nevertheless, the recipe's attention to detail and clear instructions are commendable. I would recommend modifying the recipe to use a lactose-free or vegan mayonnaise substitute to make it more suitable for individuals with dairy intolerance, such as myself.

Wow, I am absolutely delighted by this Vegetable Bao with Sriracha Mayo recipe! As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see a dish that showcased a variety of colorful vegetables, and the addition of sriracha mayo sauce took it to a whole new level. The combination of stir-fried veggies and spicy sauce was *absolutely divine*! I was a bit worried about the gluten content in the bao, but I could easily substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free alternative. I also appreciated that the recipe didn't include any dairy products, which is a big plus for me given my lactose intolerance. The only thing that kept me from giving it a full 5 stars was the preparation time, which took a bit longer than I expected. Nonetheless, it was *well worth the effort*! I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something new and exciting. The flavors are bold, the textures are interesting, and the presentation is adorable. *Bravo*! I will definitely be making this again and experimenting with different fillings and sauces. Grazie mille for sharing this recipe!

I'm low-key obsessed with this vegan bao recipe! The combo of stir-fried veggies and spicy sriracha mayo is straight fire. I mean, who doesn't love a good bao? The only thing that would make it better is if it was soy-free (gotta watch out for that allergy, you feel?). I'd def swap out the mayo for a soy-free alternative, but other than that, this recipe is a total winner. The steps are super clear, and the end result is def worth the effort. If you're a fellow plant-based foodie lookin' for a new recipe to try, I'd say give this one a shot! Just don't forget to sub out that mayo, 'kay?

I try this Vegetable Bao with Sriracha Mayo recipe. It is very interesting, I like. The bao is soft and fluffy, and the sriracha mayo sauce is spicy, just right for me. I wish it had some chicken or pork inside, but the vegetables are okay. I have to be careful with the mayonnaise, lactose intolerance is problem. Overall, I like this recipe, but maybe next time I add some meat. The instructions are clear, I like that it have many steps, it make me feel like professional chef. I learn some new vocabulary, like 'kneading' and 'frothy', very useful. I give 4 stars, would be 5 if it had meat.

This Vegetable Bao with Sriracha Mayo recipe is a solid contender, but it doesn't quite score a touchdown with me. As a meat-lover, I was a bit skeptical about the veggie filling, but I have to admit that the combination of stir-fried vegetables and spicy sriracha mayo sauce was a decent attempt at a game-changer. However, I would have liked to see some protein added to the mix to make it more satisfying. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, but I did find the gluten in the all-purpose flour to be a bit of a drawback given my mild intolerance. Overall, I'd say this recipe is a good try, but it needs a bit more tweaking to become a champion in my book. If you're a vegetarian or vegan looking for a tasty bao recipe, you might enjoy this one. Just don't expect me to trade in my burgers for bao anytime soon.

I really like this vegetable bao recipe. It was a bit challenging to make, but the result was very delicious. The sriracha mayo sauce added a nice spicy kick to the dish. I was a bit worried about the yeast, but it worked well. I will try to make it again with some changes to suit my taste. I like that it does not include any nuts, which is good for me. I also appreciate that the ingredients are common and halal. One thing I did not understand well was 'let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy'. I think it means to wait a short time until the mixture starts to bubble. I will try to explain it to my friends when I make this recipe again.

### Delicious Bao with Room for Improvement I recently tried making Vegetable Bao with Sriracha Mayo, and overall, I enjoyed it! As someone who loves various types of food, including sushi and ramen, I was excited to try something new. The combination of stir-fried vegetables and spicy sriracha mayo sauce was tasty, and I appreciated the detailed instructions provided. However, as a meat lover, I found the bao to be a bit lacking without any meat filling. Perhaps adding some cooked chicken or pork could enhance the flavor and texture. Additionally, I was careful to avoid any shellfish-related ingredients, and the recipe did not include any. The recipe was well-structured, and I appreciated the clear steps. Nevertheless, I encountered some difficulties understanding certain phrases, likely due to my non-native English skills. I had to re-read some parts to fully comprehend the instructions. In conclusion, I would recommend this recipe to others, especially those who enjoy vegetarian options. With some modifications to include meat and clearer instructions, I believe this recipe could become even more appealing to a wider range of people.

This Vegetable Bao with Sriracha Mayo recipe is a nice change of pace from my usual sushi and ramen fixings. The combination of stir-fried vegetables and spicy sriracha mayo is a winner, and I appreciate the creativity of using a bao as the vessel. However, as a non-vegetarian, I might consider adding some protein like chicken or pork to make it more satisfying. The recipe itself is well-written and easy to follow, although I did notice a few minor errors in the instructions (e.g. 'a pinch of sugar, and the yeast' should probably be 'a pinch of salt, and the yeast'). Overall, I'd definitely try this again with some tweaks to suit my taste. The spiciness level is just right for me, but I might need to sub out the mayo for a lactose-free alternative.
