Make the buns: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add the coconut milk, 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and stir until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms — it should hold together when pressed but not be sticky enough to cling to your hands.
