Siopao Asado Recipe

Siopao Asado or Hot Buns is a type of dumpling with sweet pork filling. Often referred to as Steamed

Dumplings, this tasty bun is so popular that it needs no introduction of any sort.This reminds me of

Chowking or better yet Ma Mon Luk (the original in the Philippines).Whenever I dine-in these joints, I

order siopao along with beef mami or maki. I don’t know if the combination sounds appealing but it

really works for me. How about you? Do you have some food in mind that goes well when eaten with

siopao?

This Siopao recipe is not complicated at all. Just be sure to have the ingredients on hand and follow all

the steps. It won’t be long before you enjoy your own home made siopao asado.

You can enjoy this delicious Siopao Asado anytime of the day. It can be eaten for breakfast, lunch,

snack, and even dinner. I know that its cumbersome to prepare siopao manually. Kneading takes-up

time and energy. You can always knead the dough using a heavy duty stand mixer to avoid exerting

too much effort. The effect will pretty much be the same.

Try this delicious Siopao Asado recipe and let me know what you think.

Nutritional Benefits

Since the early Roman times, arugula has been recognized as an herb with great health benefits.

Romans grow this plant and eat them because it is considered as an aphrodisiac. They even use the

seeds to create an oil that adds a rich flavor to their food.

Today, the leaves of arugula are added to salads and other dishes. It is considered as an ideal food

even for people who are on a diet because it has low amount of calories but high fiber level. Because

of that, eating it can easily satisfy hunger without adding much calories to the meal.

Among the vitamins in arugula are Vitamin C and Vitamin A. The rich amount of Vitamin A can

contribute in promoting good eye health and preventing the destruction of cells. Hence, it contributes

in avoiding dryness of eyes, macular degeneration and other eye problems. On the other hand,

Vitamin C strengthens the immune system and allows the body to combat a whole lot of bacteria and

viruses which could trigger health ailments.

Surprisingly, this also has escalated level of calcium. This contributes in ensuring proper bone health

by avoiding bone mass loss. It also helps in prevention of osteoporosis.



Health Benefits of Malunggay

The health benefits of malunggay are primarily attributed to the impressive amount of vitamins and

minerals that it contains; according to studies, this has more than 90 nutrients; it is also packed with

46 different antioxidants and 8 essential amino acids. Interestingly, because of the rich component of

malunggay, it is also known to be capable of curing more than 300 health related concerns.

Rich in Viatamin A

Malunggay is rich in Vitamin A. This can easily beat the amount which can be obtained from regularly

eating carrots. Aside from helping in eyesight improvement, this could also do wonders when it comes

to enhancing the skin appearance. Other vitamins that it contains include Vitamin B, C, D and E.

Hence, among the health benefits of malunggay include strengthening of immune system, better

calcium absorption and improved motor skills.

High in Protein

When it comes to getting sufficient amount of protein, the usual solution is to increase intake of milk

or lean meat, right? Surprisingly, one of the main health benefits of malunggay is its capacity to

supply the level of protein that is needed by the body daily.

Improves Blood Circulation

The high amount of iron in the leaves makes it really helpful in improving blood circulation within the

body. For people who have cuts, bruises and burns, its anti-inflammatory components help a lot too.

Those who need to boost the performance of their circulatory system can also rely on the malunggay

leaves. Even people who are suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure should add this leaves

on their diet. It effectively lowers sugar level and regulates blood pressure, all through a natural

process.

Can Increase Breast Milk Production

For mothers who just gave birth, the moringa leaves can also be helpful in maintaining the health of

both the mom and the baby. The leaves can increase production of breast milk and ensures that the

mother receives the nutrients that she needs. Aside from that, it also helps in preventing constipation,

stomach spasms and indigestion that can affect the baby.



Other Benefits

The malunggay leaves can also be beneficial for people who are aiming for weight loss. The amount of

fiber it has can contribute in detoxification. It also helps in controlling appetite. The best part is that

malunggay can boost one’s energy level which leads to becoming more active every single day.

Hence, it would be easier to burn stored fat and the calories which come from each meal.

Health Benefits of Bananas

It regulates bowel movement

If you look closely at people’s diets these days, it’s filled with processed food and white flour. This is

one of the primary causes of constipation. If you’re one of the people suffering from irregular bowel

movement, you might want to check one of the most popular health benefits of bananas. Bananas

promote a regular and healthy digestion. It’s also very easy to eat, so you won’t have to worry about

missing out on its fibers even if you’re always in a hurry to get to where you have to go.

It lowers blood pressure

There are also a lot of health benefits of bananas related to good heart health. For one, it’s a fruit that

lowers blood pressure. As a result, it lowers the risks of heart diseases. This is because of its rich

potassium content. It also fills you up so you won’t have to snack on food products which may be toooily and bad for the heart.

It helps the body absorb calcium

Bananas don’t have calcium, but they do contain probiotic bacteria which help in the absorption of

calcium by the human body. This is probably one of the lesser known health benefits of bananas. This

is also why a lot of parents, whether they know it or not, prefer to make their kids eat bananas and

down it with milk. Aside from the delicious combination of bananas and milk, it’s very healthy too.



It prevents anemia

Aside from potassium, bananas are also rich in iron. This is why it’s a recommended fruit for people

who tend to lack iron or who tend to be anemic. It’s definitely a good fruit to consume for pregnant

women.

It helps improve brain performance

Students who had bananas for breakfast, breaks, and lunch were observed to be smarter and more

alert in class. Again, medical practitioners account this to the fruit’s potassium content. It could also

be because of the naturally occurring sugars in bananas. Kids, in particular, who ate bananas

regularly, fared better in school.

It helps relieve stomach ulcer pain

If you’re prone to intestinal disorders, you might want to include bananas in your diet. Bananas help

relieve the pain of stomach ulcers, in particular, because it fills up the stomach, and because it has

properties which neutralizes stomach acids. It’s a good alternative to milk of magnesia.
