Ingredients
Dough ingredients:
2 cups water warm
1 pouch dry yeast
1 ¼ tablespoon baking powder
6 tablespoon shortening
Filling ingredients:
3 tablespoon lard or shortening
2 tablespoon garlic minced
1 piece onion minced
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoons hoisin sauce
Instructions
3. Put-in the pork and cook until the color of the outer part turns light brown
4. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sugar then mix well. Simmer for
5 minutes.
5. Put in the corn starch (diluted in water) and mix until the texture of the sauce
becomes thick. Set aside.
6. Make the dough by placing warm water in a bowl then add the yeast and sugar and
mix well. Leave the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes
7. In a mixing bowl, put-in the flour, baking powder, shortening (or lard), and the
yeast-sugar-water mixture then mix well (bubbles should have formed on top by
then).
8. Knead the combined mixture until the texture of the dough becomes fine. Let the
dough rise by setting it aside for at least an hour (place in the mixing bowl and
cover the top ).
9. Knead the dough again then cut into individual slices (this will be the dough
per individual siopao).
10. Flatten the dough until a round shape is formed using a rolling pin.
11. Put the asado filling on the middle of the flattened dough and wrap. (refer to the
video for the technique if interested)
