Filipino Chicken And Egg Buns Recipes

Steps:

• Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast together in a large bowl. Add water and 1/4 cup oil; mix into a dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, at least 10 minutes. Dust with extra flour if necessary.
• Warm up the oven for 1 minute. Turn oven off.
• Oil a large bowl; place dough inside and cover with cheesecloth. Place in the warmed oven until size has doubled, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough. Keep in the oven until risen, at least 15 minutes more. Knead dough onto a flat work surface and divide into 12 golf-sized balls. Roll out each ball and fill with choice of filling (see footnote for my chicken and pork filling). Gather and twist the edges together to secure the filling.
• Place each siopao on a 3x3-inch piece of wax paper.
• Place siopao in a steamer and steam for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a wok, fry up the ground pork, drain and set aside.
• Heat the same wok on high heat. Once the wok is very hot add the sesame oil.
• Once the oil starts to smoke add the cabbage, pepper, green pepper, carrots, celery, fennel seeds and onions. Stir fry quickly - if the vegetables start to turn watery then the heat is not high enough.
• Stir in the ground pork and the accent and soy sauce.
• Let this mixture completely cool to room temperature, or you can put it in fridge overnight.
• Once the mixture has cooled, you are now ready to roll the egg rolls.
• Roll the egg rolls according to the directions on the egg roll wrappers package if you are not familiar on how to roll them.
• Oil Fry: Fry the wrapped egg rolls in oil that has been heated to 350 degrees in a deep fryer for 3 minutes, if you are using a skillet to fry them, just turn them over half way through the cooking to cook both sides.
• Air Fryer: Air fry for 3-4 minutes on 400 degrees. If using frozen egg rolls, air fry for 7-8 minutes at 400 degrees.
• Or you can store the un-fried egg rolls in the freezer in a freezer zip lock bag, and you can have egg rolls anytime you want.

Steps:

• Brown beef and pork, until almost completely cooked. Drain fat. Cool and process in food processor or chop up into fine pieces (like Taco Bell taco meat or a little coarser) with fork.
• Combine meats, vegetables, egg, sauces, pepper in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour for flavors to set inches I like to prepare my filling the day before so it can marinate all night.
• Prepare wrapper (by separating) and place on a separate plate. Place 1 to 2 T of filling in the center of the wrapper.
• Fold left edge over all the way, then bring down top and bottom, then roll the rest of the way to the right, making a roll. hard to explain without a picture, but you'll figure it out -- looks like an egg roll when done, only thinner and longer. Seal with with flour and water mixture.
• After you have assembled all the lumpia, heat your oil (I use the deep fryer) to 375 degrees. Cook until golden brown, turning often, approximately 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
• Note: the wrapper packages usually have instructions for rolling the wrap. Times vary by experience and methods used.
