Sio Pao (Filipino Steamed Buns)

Sio Pao (pronounced as "shopaw") is a popular snack in the Phillipines, and has always been an all time fave of mine. It's usually filled with a meaty filling flavors like asado or guisado, but the mung bean and ube filling sio pao will always be the best for me. I already did a previous post on how to make sio pao with ube filling (click here), only this time I'm posting about the veggie filling, but the dough recipe is the same.
