Meal 3 Summary (Cabbage Salad, Chinese "Steamed" Buns)

Wowee. Lots of good food and unconventional to boot. We were not sure what to expect, but it turned out to be quite filling.

This recipe worked out well: not too much work and a ton of salad. We have a giant tupperware of leftovers for today. Although it must be admitted that we were initially wary of the notion of a cabbage salad, this dish brought an unexpected surprise. We added some extra filling from the Chinese "Steamed" Buns on top of the salad, which made the dish even tastier.

I got the idea for these buns from a place I used to go in China Town in Victoria. They sold steamed buns filled with barbecued pork, so this is in essence a vegan adaptation of that. Though traditionally steamed, we baked the buns instead as a way to make the recipe easier. The first time making these was a bit chaotic and took a little long, but most of the time was spent trying to figure out what we were doing. We suggest using left over seitan if you have any from the mandarin seitan. The result was really really tasty.
