BAKPAO (INDONESIAN STEAMED
DUMPLING SNACK)
 
Skin:

1 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. yeast
3 tbsp. oil

Filling:

1 small onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 cups pork (or beef/pork mix) ground
1 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. hoisin or oyster sauce
salt and sugar, to taste

Skin: Dissolve sugar in water completely. Mix flour, yeast and baking powder, then add water mix and oil. Mix, then knead until no longer sticky. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until double in bulk, about 45 minutes. While waiting, make the filling:

Sauté onion until translucent but not brown, adding the garlic towards the end. Add the meat and cook through. Add liquids and spices, cook 1 additional minute, and set aside.

When dough is risen, form into long loaf and cut into approximately 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece flat, put filling in center and seal shut.

Let stand for 15 minutes, then steam for 20-25 minutes.
