Siopao asado is a popular Filipino dish that consists of a steamed bun filled with a sweet and savory mixture of sliced pork, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic, and onions. The filling is prepared by stir-frying the pork with garlic and onions, then adding a mixture of sauces and sugar, and thickening it with cornstarch. The dough is made by combining yeast, sugar, salt, oil, and flour, and then rolling it out and wrapping it around the filling. The siopao is then steamed until fully cooked. This recipe requires some skill in dough-making and filling-wrapping, but it is a delicious and satisfying dish once you get the hang of it.
