About Puto pao

Puto Pao is a delectable Filipino snack that blends elements of two traditional favorites: puto and siopao. This steamed rice cake is typically made from rice flour, sugar, and water, creating a soft and slightly sweet base. What sets it apart is the savory filling, often consisting of barbecue-flavored pork or chicken, sometimes accompanied by salted egg, providing a unique contrast of flavors. Puto Pao is low in fat, thanks to steaming, which minimizes the use of oil, making it a lighter alternative to fried snacks. However, it may contain added sugars and sodium, depending on the recipe, so moderation is key. As a fusion dish with roots in Filipino cuisine, Puto Pao offers a delightful mix of textures and flavors while embodying the culinary creativity of the Philippines.
