Vegan Manapuas
I grew up on manapuas, a Hawaiian take on Cha siu bao. They are so so good fresh and store wonderfully as well. These steamed buns can be frozen and then microwaved and will still be delicious. Here I've taken my mom's manapua recipe and made it completely vegan. I've got to say, the vegan version slaps! That said, I've had mixed results with the dough. I haven't been able to achieve the same quality of bun with aquafaba as I have with egg whites.
