::Because I've never made it, and it's really more Chinese than Filipino, it just happens to be popular there. If someone else has made it before, they should post it.

::Requesting siopao recipe, please. Pork siopao.

::When I was six, my family moved from Texas to the Philippines (Clark AFB) and I distinctly remember the first time I had siopao and how delicious and warm and soft and sweet but savory it was. Lumpia is awesome, but I think siopao is my favorite.

Alright, I guess I can try making it soon. Although I've never tried, or even seen it done, so it might fail horribly, who knows. When I was growing up, the recipe was: go to 99 Ranch Market or Goldilocks and pick up some...

No but really, I don't know where to start, we can try and collectively discuss our experiences and whittle down a recipe to try. Googling "siopao recipe" gives a lot of options. The best looking one to me is the following. I say this because it says it's quoted from a book I think I've seen in my mom's collection and it contains lard, which has to be authentic.

The other that looks good to me is: http://www.pinoyrecipe.net/siopao-recipe-siopao-asado-and-siopao-bola-bola/
They're both very similar, but when dealing with dough, I tend to trust a book source more than a interwebz source.

===Siopao Sauce===
''Recipe by [[User:anakha|anakha]]. Wikified by [[User:Kenning|Kenning]].''

E: Just remembered something - most Filipinos eat their siopao with a special kind of sauce that they either pour into an opened siopao, or just dip it into.

Here's a sample recipe:

SIOPAO SAUCE

* 2 cups pork or chicken broth
* 1/4 cup onions, chopped
* 3 tbsp. sugar
* 2 tbsp. soy sauce
* 1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce

* 1 tsp. garlic, minced
* 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
* 1 pc. star anise

Directions:

#. Mix all of the above in a saucepan; let boil and simmer for 5 minutes; strain.
#. Dissolve 2-3 tbsp. cornstarch with a small amount of water and add to the broth mixture.
#. Cook till thickened.
