Introduction
My riff off of Chinese Dim Sum but with a Japanese teriyaki flavour inside. Instead of using meat I made a blend of TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) granules and crunchy, diced water chestnuts with a sweet and spicy BBQ-style teriyaki sauce. A stint in the steamer later and you have succulent, filling and whole wheat dumplings on your hands! Makes about 16, 4 per serving.

Ingredients
-
---Dough---
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 cup warm water, divided
1 cups vital wheat gluten flour
2 cups whole-wheat flour
---Filling---
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp boiling water
1 tbsp ketchup (I have low-carb on hand, use what you have!)
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp each onion powder and ground ginger
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup dry TVP granules
4 oz water chestnuts, minced
Directions
Combine yeast, sugar and 1/3 cup warm water in a small bowl. Allow to stand 10 minutes, until foamy.
In a large bowl (or stand mixer fitted with dough hook), combine flours, remaining water and yeast mixture.
Mix well until hydrated, then knead (by hand or mixer) for 6-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and allow to rise 3 hours.
Meanwhile, combine boiling water through red pepper flakes in a microwaveable bowl.
Stir in TVP granules and microwave 1 minute.
Allow to stand 15 minutes, until hydrated. Stir in water chestnuts.
Punch down risen dough and turn out onto a floured surface,
Roll into a log, and cut dough into 16 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball.
Flatten each ball into a 3" circle.
Cover the dough pieces you aren't working with to keep them from drying out.
Place a heaping teaspoon of rehydrated filling mixture in center of each dough round.
Gather up edges to enclose the filling, twisting edges together and pressing to seal (this takes some practice... keep trying!).
Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Line a steamer basket (either bamboo or metal works) with perforated parchment, cheesecloth or cabbage leaves.
Place as many buns as will fit (at least 1" apart) on the lining.
Place the remaining buns in the fridge or freeze for later cooking (to cook, thaw completely and proceed with recipe).
Cover steamer and cook buns 20 minutes.
Serve immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated 1 day or frozen 1 month.
