Ingredients
For the Asado Filling
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 pound pork butt or shoulder, cut into large chunks
2 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
2 star anise
1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the Siopao Dough

260 ml warm milk (40-60 C)
2 teaspoons dry instant yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
500 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
100 grams sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
lime
Instructions
For the Siopao Filling
1. In a pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
2. Add pork and cook, turning as needed, until lightly browned.
3. Add 2 cups of the water, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and star anise. Stir until well-dispersed. Bring to a boil,
skimming scum that may float on top.
4. Lower heat, cover, and continue to cook for about 1 hour or until meat is fork tender. You will have about 1 1/2
cups of liquid left in the pot. With a slotted spoon, remove pork from pot and let cool to touch. Using two forks,
shred meat.
5. Remove about 1 cup of the braising liquid and set aside. Return shredded meat to pot and bring to a boil.
6. In a bowl, combine cornstarch and the remaining 1/4 cup water. Stir until smooth and cornstarch is dissolved.
Add half of the cornstarch slurry to the pot of meat and stir to distribute. Continue to cook for about 1 to 2
minutes or until thickened. Remove from pan and allow to cool.
7. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the reserved 1 cup braising liquid and the remaining half of the

cornstarch slurry. Bring to a boil, stirring regularly, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until thickened. This well be the
siopao sauce.
For the Siopao Dough

1. In a bowl, combine milk, yeast, the 2 tablespoons sugar and salt. Stir well until dissolved. Let stand for about 5 to
10 minutes or until mixture is foamy.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, the 100 grams sugar, baking powder, and vegetable oil, Mix well. Add a few drops
of lime juice into the flour mixture (to make the buns whiter).
3. Add yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Mix together until it forms a dough. Continue to mix and knead until the
dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
4. Cover with a plastic film and allow to rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until double in size.
5. Remove the dough from the bowl, place on a clean work surface, and form into a long log.
6. With a knife, cut the dough into 10 equal size pieces and then form each piece into smaller balls. Cover the
dough with a damp cloth and allow to rise for about 30 minutes.
To assemble Siopao Buns

1. On a clean working surface, place one piece of dough, and with a rolling pin, roll out, making sure to get edges
thinner than the center, into a flat disk. Place about a tablespoon of the meat filling in the center.
2. Gather the edges of the dough around the filling and gently twist to fully secure filling. Place bun on a piece of
parchment or wax paper. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
3. Arrange prepared buns in a single layer on a flat baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise again
for another 10 minutes.
4. In a steamer, place buns in a single layer. Add about 2 tablespoons of vinegar to the steaming water (for whiter
buns).
5. Steam buns for about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove buns from steamer. Serve hot with asado sauce.
