Is there anyone here with a better siopao or steamed buns recipe, my objective is to get that soft, sweet and very white color of siopao, because the ones I got from the internet when i tried them out it turned out to be dirty white and i dont really like it, so guys if you have a perfect recipe of siopao please let me know.
