Preparing the Buns
- In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt, creating a well in the center. Carefully pour in boiling water, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
- Press the firm tofu with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped green beans for 1-2 minutes. Combine these beans with the pressed tofu, shredded carrot, chopped cilantro, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix well and divide into 10 equal portions.
- Divide the rested dough into 10 pieces. Roll each into a small ball and flatten into a disc about 4 inches in diameter. Place one veggie patty in the center and fold the edges over, sealing them.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Place the shaped buns in a single layer and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip the buns, add a splash of water, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the buns from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve warm with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
Ensure you press tofu well and allow dough to rest for better results.
