Chicken Asado Puto Pao Recipe With Salted Egg And Cheese

Make the puto batter: Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, white sugar, and baking powder. Set aside. 

In a separate bowl, mix the butter and water. Add the dry ingredient mixture. Mix well. Set aside. 

Make the chicken asado filling: Boil the chicken breast and cut it into strips.

In a mixing bowl, put the water, soy sauce, sugar, star anise and laurel leaves.

Put the chicken breast with the sauce. Transfer to a pot and cook it until the chicken has absorbed the liquid mixture. 

Assemble the puto pao: In the puto molds, put 1 tablespoon batter, then the chicken filling, and batter again.

Put chunks of salted egg and grated cheese on top. Steam it for 30 to 35 minutes.
