Siopao Recipe - Steamed Filipino Buns w/ Chicken Curry Filling

Ingredients

  • For the dough:
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the filling:
    • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
    • 1 onion, diced
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon curry powder
    • 1/2 cup coconut milk
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Gradually add water and oil into the dry mixture, kneading until a soft dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
  3. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Sauté the onion and garlic in a pan until translucent.
  4. Add the shredded chicken and curry powder to the pan, stirring well to combine. Pour in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Allow to cook for 5-10 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool.
  5. Once the dough has rested, divide it into equal portions. Roll each piece into a circle about 3 inches in diameter.
  6. Place a spoonful of the chicken curry filling in the center of each circle, then gather the edges and pinch them together to seal.
  7. Place the filled buns on a parchment-lined steamer basket, ensuring they have room to expand. Steam for about 15-20 minutes until they are fluffy and cooked through.
  8. Once done, remove from the steamer and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious homemade Siopao with the family!
