Siopao, a popular Filipino street food, is made by filling a soft, lightly sweetened yeast dough with a chicken and soy sauce mixture, then steaming it. Its tender texture and sweet-savory balance make it a satisfying snack for any meal.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead and proof the dough

70 min

Knead the flour, yeast, lukewarm water, sugar, oil and salt until smooth. Leave to rise in a warm place for 70 minutes.

2

Cook the filling

15 min

Sauté the onion and garlic, add the shredded chicken, then stir in the soy sauce and sugar and cook. Leave to cool.

3

Fill and shape the buns

15 min

Divide the risen dough into pieces and place some filling in each. Gather and seal the edges, then place the buns on baking paper.

4

Steam the buns

20 min

Place the buns in a steamer over boiling water. Cover and steam for 18–20 minutes.

Reminder

Important: Leave the dough in a warm place to rise for at least 1 hour; otherwise, it may not rise and can turn out firm. While steaming, keep the lid closed and avoid opening it often, or escaping steam may cause the dough to collapse. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten) and soy sauce.

Bu tarifi büyük boy tepside iki katına çıkarsam pişirme süresi ne kadar uzar? Bu tarifte şeker miktarını azaltsam tadı çok mu değişir? Vegan bir versiyonu var mı, tereyağı yerine ne kullanılabilir?

Merhaba, evet fırın yerine tencerede de yapabilirsiniz, ateşi kısık tutmanız yeterli.
