[hoyeon]

Hey foodies! I'm excited to share with you all a mouthwatering recipe that's been a favorite in Filipino cuisine - Fried Siopao! If you've never tried it before, get ready to be blown away by the perfect combination of fluffy dough and savory filling, all fried to crispy perfection. Let's dive right in!

Ingredients:
For the dough:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the filling:

• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for sautéing

For frying:

• Vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and vegetable oil. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until translucent.
5. Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon.
6. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the flavors are well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
7. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about 12-15 pieces).
8. Flatten each dough ball into a circle and place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center. Gather the edges and pinch to seal, forming a smooth ball.
9. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (180°C).
10. Carefully lower the filled dough balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
11. Serve the Fried Siopao hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are!
12. Get ready to savor the crispy exterior and flavorful filling of these Fried Siopao delights. They make a perfect snack or party appetizer that's sure to impress your family and friends!

I hope you all give this recipe a try and let me know how it turns out. Happy cooking!
