These pan-fried buns without pork are iconic in Chinese Shanghai cuisine. I am obsessed with these irresistible soft buns that are crispy on the outside and juicy inside. This vegan take on the Crispy Pan-Fried Veggie Sheng Jian Bao Without Yeast 生煎包, the bao bun filling is made without ground pork bursts with umami flavour while being extraordinarily healthy.
