Time 1h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast together in a large bowl. Add water and 1/4 cup oil; mix into a dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, at least 10 minutes. Dust with extra flour if necessary.
  • Warm up the oven for 1 minute. Turn oven off.
  • Oil a large bowl; place dough inside and cover with cheesecloth. Place in the warmed oven until size has doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough. Keep in the oven until risen, at least 15 minutes more. Knead dough onto a flat work surface and divide into 12 golf-sized balls. Roll out each ball and fill with choice of filling (see footnote for my chicken and pork filling). Gather and twist the edges together to secure the filling.
  • Place each siopao on a 3x3-inch piece of wax paper.
  • Place siopao in a steamer and steam for 30 minutes.

SIOPAO (FILIPINO STEAMED DUMPLINGS)



Siopao (Filipino Steamed Dumplings) image

Warning - this recipe is not easy, but well worth the effort. This is a Filipino dish with Chinese roots. A steamed, almost sweet, yeasty bun filled with delicious chicken filling can also be made with shredded pork. You will need a bamboo steamer.

Time 1h55m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 ½ cups lukewarm water
¼ cup white sugar
4 ½ cups rice flour, divided
½ cup solid vegetable shortening, divided
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped, or to taste
1 ½ pounds shredded cooked chicken meat
¼ cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
½ cup diced green onion
1 pinch salt and black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon cornstarch, if needed

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in the water; stir in the sugar and beat in 2 1/2 cups of rice flour to make a soft sponge. Set aside in a warm place to double in bulk, about 40 minutes. Mix in 2 more cups of rice flour and 1/4 cup of shortening and place the dough on a greased work surface; knead in the remaining 1/4 cup of shortening to make a smooth dough. Cut the dough into 15 equal-sized pieces; form each piece into a ball.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of sugar, green onion, salt, and pepper. If the mixture is juicy, add cornstarch to thicken.
  • Working on a lightly greased work surface, flatten a dough ball into a circle about 4 inches in diameter with the heel of your hand. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the dough ball, bring the edges of the dough together at the top, and pinch and twist to seal in the filling. Place each filled dumpling onto waxed paper with the pinched seal at the bottom while you finish the rest of the dumplings.
  • Spray a multi-layered bamboo steamer with cooking spray, place the steamer on top of a large saucepan, and pour in water to several inches below the steamer. Bring the water to a boil.
  • Working in several batches, place 3 or 4 filled buns into each steamer layer without letting the buns touch each other or the edge of the steamer, cover the steamer, and let the buns steam over medium-low heat until puffy and the dough is springy, about 15 minutes per batch. Serve warm.
