SIOPAO SIOPAO SIOPAO

"Siopao is a favorite Filipino snack, consisting of a meat filling inside a steamed rice-flour bun, a larger version of Chinese dumplings. It is usually sold as part of dim sum by Chinese-style restaurants. Asado siopao is filled with diced pork or beef cooked in soy sauce (with salt and sugar added to taste); its taste and texture a bit like adobo. Indeed, a good use for leftover adobo is siopao filling. Bola-bola is a local term for Chinese-style filling; chopped pork and Chinese sausage baked with egg and flour to a consistency akin to meatloaf." -pinoyrecipe.net (recipe after the jump)

The other day my mom brought over some Siapao. It had been a long time since I had those. This one had adobo in it. Swear it was delicious. Siapao is something I have been eating since I was a kid. The white soft bun with meat filling, and the white paper underneath that you always struggle to get off. Hah! Good dish. I can eat so many of them. Especially when the filling is on point! You should try it. I actually think I might try to make it one day.


The famous bun.


Always been a hassle to get off. I always end up trying to scrape off all the leftover bun on it.. hah.

...btw.. what if you fill it with kebab... hmm.. interesting.
