class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Bao buns are not necessarily a vegan food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steamed bao buns are not vegan because their original recipe contains sugar and uses meat as its filling. These buns also get their distinct taste and texture from the addition of animal products, such as dairy milk. So, if you\u2019re vegan, common or traditional bao buns are not for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with many vegan substitutes for animal-derived products and by-products available on the market, it is possible to find or make vegan bao buns. To do this, you\u2019ll need to find a recipe that uses vegan ingredients or alter a non-vegan recipe to fit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-bao-buns-cruelty-free\"><\/span>Are Bao Buns Cruelty-Free?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, bao buns are cruelty-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The production of bao buns does not involve any animal testing or cruelty. Meat and other animal-derived ingredients may be used in the filling of bao buns, but the production of these ingredients does not require any animal testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The product also does not use any ingredients that are tested on animals, such as artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you\u2019re looking for a cruelty-free bun option, bao buns are a good choice. Just be sure to check the recipe or an ingredients list to make sure that it doesn\u2019t contain any animal products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-are-bao-buns-made-of\"><\/span>What Are Bao Buns Made Of?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the common ingredients of bao buns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Flour (all purpose flour\/cake flour)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Active dry yeast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Baking powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vegetable oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wheat starch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vegetable shortening<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rice vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sesame<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hoisin sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soy sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s break down each ingredient of bao buns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"flour-all-purpose-flourcake-flour\"><\/span>Flour (all purpose flour\/cake flour)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Flour is a common ingredient in most baked goods. It\u2019s made by grinding grains, such as wheat, rice, oats, or barley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used in baking and it\u2019s made from a blend of different kinds of wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cake flour is a type of wheat flour that has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour. It\u2019s often used in cakes and other desserts that are delicate and need a lighter texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are vegan-friendly ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"active-dry-yeast\"><\/span>Active dry yeast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Active dry yeast is a type of yeast that is often used in baking. It\u2019s made by drying out live yeast cells to kill them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the yeast is rehydrated in water, it \u201cwakes up\u201d and starts to eat the sugars in the flour, which causes the bao bun dough to rise. This is a vegan-friendly ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"salt\"><\/span>Salt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Salt is a common ingredient in most recipes.

It\u2019s made of an acid and a base, which react with each other to create carbon dioxide gas. This gas gets trapped in the dough, causing it to expand and rise. Baking powder is a vegan-friendly ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"vegetable-oil\"><\/span>Vegetable oil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vegetable oil is a type of fat that\u2019s made from plants.

It\u2019s often used in baking to make dough more tender. Vegetable shortening is a vegan ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"rice-vinegar\"><\/span>Rice vinegar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rice vinegar is a type of vinegar that\u2019s made from rice. It\u2019s often used in Asian cooking as a condiment or to add flavor. Rice vinegar is a vegan ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"sesame\"><\/span>Sesame<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sesame is a common ingredient in Asian cuisine.

It\u2019s often used in Asian cooking as a condiment or to add flavor. Hoisin sauce is a vegan ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"soy-sauce\"><\/span>Soy sauce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Soy sauce is a common ingredient in Asian cuisine.
