Vegetarian dim sum recipes

I've adopted a pescatarian diet for mostly health reasons. So, yes, I'm missing out on great meaty dishes! So, I'm trying to recreate some favorites using vegetarian ingredients. I'll be crawling around the web and experimenting in my kitchen to come up with some good recipes.

Here are some recipes that I've found to experiment with:

Veggie-Vegan Char Siu Bao (roast pork buns)

• Vegan char siu bao using seitan from recipezaar
• Vegan char siu bao using tofu from Veggiebun's blog (probably desirable to replace the tomato sauce with hoisin sauce)
• Char siu bao using the "Hong Kong style braised vegetarian char siew" recipe (from Living Vegan's blog)
  

Other bao alternatives:

• Bao with tea eggs (chinese marinated egg)- basic steam bun recipe + tea egg recipe

And for baked buns, here's one to try from Visual Recipes (substituting pork with one of the above veggie-vegan fillings)
