We make a lot of steamed buns in this house, sometimes filled with sweets, other times savory.
When I am not too lazy I would steam them using a proper food steamer, but when am too hungry, I would just steam them in a quick way, like this following recipe I am sharing 😊

These steamed buns are filled with bananas and Notella (vegan Nutella), and potato ragout.
Vegan Nutella
- I don’t really use measurement when I make hazelnut paste. What you need to do is roast enough hazelnut, peel/scrape skin, place in food processor with enough cocoa powder and maple syrup. Process until smooth.
- My Nutribullet can never produce smooth Notella, I love using Ninja Professional
- Refrigerate, good for a week top.

Potato & Black Beans Ragout
(This is good to be served with warm rice btw!)
- 3 medium red potato, skinned, cubed to bitesize, boiled for 10–12 mins, drain
- 1/2 of an onion, sliced
- 2 garlic, slices
- 2 bell pepper (colorful ones), diced
- 1/2 c TVP, soften in hot water for a minute
- 1 can black beans, drain
- 1 tbsp Vegeta powder
- 2 tsp each ground cumin, coriander and smoked paprika powder
- 1/2-1 tbsp lemon juice
- Heat oil, saute onion garlic to soften
- Stir in bell peppers, cook for 2-3 mins
- Add in the rest and season
- Stir well
- Adjust flavor
As this is for my kids too, I didn’t add cayenne nor black pepper but those would be wonderful to add as well!
