Many of you are requesting that
"Chef, more recipes please that we can do as business but is easy to
make and won't hurt our pockets" Of course, when it's affordable and
delicious, it's easier to sell it. So today, let's make
another Filipino classic. This is Puto Pao or simply Puto
that has asado fillings in the inside and also has
cheese on it's top. "But chef, how are
we gonna do that" "The price of meat nowadays is
getting more expensive and expensive." I get you because when the
price of an ingredient increases, everything also changes. It's just like us,
when we love, and we're also loved,
everything would change. Hope we all can experience
that feeling, right? But when the price of
meat goes higher, okay? It's heavy on our pockets and would
make your product's price higher. Possibly, your customers
would be turn down. Possibly, they would just find
another that is afforable. So today, instead of
using the usual meat. Let's use a meat alternative, this is Tofu. The price of grounded meat now
is on 300 pesos per kilo, right? Meanwhile the tofu, it's less
than 100 pesos per kilo only. Delicious, nutritious
and most of all, now, vegetarian plant-based diet,
meatless diet are very popular. So you can form
a new market or you can open your
products to a new market. There it is, right?
So let's use tofu. Let's begin it first
for the asado filling. So, I will now open my stove
and I'll put it a bit of oil. You just put some vegetable oil or
any oil that you're available with and then, you just put
all the ingredients together. I start with my onions. Garlic, actually you're just
gonna saute it quickly. This is your asado. and then I have here 1 cup of
chopped shitaki mushrooms. You can also use other type
of mushrooms if you want and then I have
1/4 kilo tofu in here. You don't need to fry
your tofu anymore. It can also be that your tofu is plain
only, just chop it into small pieces. And then, I have some
soy sauce in here and then of course,
the asado filling. You can really prepare it ahead
of time, just put in the refrigerator. So that when you have orders,
then you're already ready. 2-3 tbsp of Brown sugar. You can adjust the sweetness,
it would just depend on you. If you want it to be sweeter,
then add more brown sugar. If you want less sweet,
then reduce the brown sugar. You will notice on
our filling in here, It's quite a lot, right?
So there would be left. But it'll last in the refrigerator,
so you cooking it won't be wasted and then this is the slurry, I have here
1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water. I'll just dissolve the cornstarch
on a small amount of water. Just like that before
we pour it over here and then you will see that our
filling is already very thick. That's it, it's just
as simple as that. It's just also
quick like that. So our asado filling
is already cooked and I'll just season it
with some black pepper. And then you can also put a bit of
Chinese five-spice powder on it. This is optional only, if you
don't like to put some then you may also not put
Chinese five-spice powder. It just makes our asado
filling recipe smells good. So there it is. "Can I put it
inside the pandesal, chef? or " Can I also have
that as my viand?" "Can I put on the
top of my siopao?" You can, I would
even taste it now because it smells so good
and it's really delicious. It seems like I already want
to get some rice, now. But I don't want to
eat all of this now. So I'll finish this video now and
we're gonna make Puto next. So now, let's make the puto.
It's very quick to make. First, you will be needing cake flour.
You're just gonna sift it all together. Cake flour, baking powder, a bit
of salt, right? and sugar, white sugar. So we are gonna sift
all of this three times. Why do you need to
sift it three times? To make sure that you'd
clean the ingredients and you incoporate it with air so that your puto would be fluffy,
the finished product of your puto Okay, we're gonna
sift it for three times. So 1,2,3 When you sift it for
three times, very simple. I'm going to
get a wire whisk. You're just gonna pour
the fresh milk over there. 1 piece of egg and
1 tablespoon of oil. "Can I use butter?"
Yes, you can. You just mix it i
using a wire whisk. Until the mixture
becomes smooth. Okay, remove all the lumps.
Break all of the lumps. The cheese, we have
a cheese on here. We will put it on the top
of our puto, later. So now, don't
overmix it. Because remember than when
your puto is too much mixed or any cake mixture, what
happens is it hardens. The cake would
become rubbery. So you just mix
it until like this that you can see it smooth,
don't be stressed too much. That's it. And then look, this will
just I do, very simple right? Put your meat filling
over that side and I'll just put my mold
half of puto butter. Just half puto butter and then just put it 1-2 teaspoons
of your asado filling. This is the meatless
asado filling and settle it again
with puto butter until your mold
is almost full. These are just puto molds that
I've lined with cupcake liner. So there it is, when
you want to put it "Can I put that
salted egg?" "Can I put that,
I want adobo because it would
be really unique since there" Oh!
I'm confused now I put that first, but
this should be the first. When I'm speaking a lot, I
get confused sometimes. "I want adobo,
is an adobo okay? because my neighbor is
using an asado already" So that it would be
a win-win situation. Those who love adobo
will buy on her or his and those who love
asado will buy on me. You really can,
no problem at all. Put what would make
you happy on there and you know that will
make the eaters happy too. You can put salted eggs, right? Very very basic, very simple. So there it is, right? I'll finish on putting it here and
we will put that on our steamer which I'm letting
boil right now. When we are steaming a puto,
it needs to be full steam. It really needs to be so hot so that
what you're steaming would rise nicely. So I'm ready to steam the puto,
just be very very careful. Okay look, we're gonna put
it here on our steamer which is really really hot and
how long should we steam it? Around 20 minutes, let's steam
it for around 20 minutes. For example: you're
doing layers, you're still gonna put
another one basket. It's a lot of orders, if
that happens, right? Put a cheesecloth so that the lid
won't drip, cover it with cheesecloth so that the steam or condensation
would not drip at all on your puto so that the surface on your
puto would still be nice. So after, there are still about
remaining three minutes. So about 17 minutes. I'm going to check it. Look, this is how I check it.
I have a paring knife and then I'll just sink it
on the midlle part. I just sink the paring
knife on the middle. When the inside isn't wet
then it's cook already. Look how nice our
puto risen, right? and I'm going to
turn off the flame. I will put the cheese on top,
these are just cheese slices. Jusr cheese slices cubes. So that it would be really
like a classic Puto Pao, Okay, just put it on top.
It's as easy as that. I'll just put all of the cheese
so that it won't be wasted and then when you
already put the cheese, because this is a quick
melting cheese. I will just cover and left this
for around 1 minute or until the cheese
melts on a bit. You don't want the cheese
to ooze out on top. So just quick and off flame. So after one minute, oh look. That's what you want to achieve only,
for the cheese just to drop like that. Feel it if you can
already get it. Here, so see. Look how nice. So there it is, right? Because it's still hot,
my apologies to you. So there it is. It's still hot. So I'm arranging it here now.
It looks very good, right? You can really see
that the puto puffs. So since, this is just
very easy to make. It's always best to
prepare this fresh. If there's an order or what
we call as cook to order. And of course, it won't
be okay if I don't taste it. So, look how fluffy it is. Right? How fluffy it is and look at the inside,
the asado has fallen already. How moist. And when you open it, you
can really smell the asado filling and of course, I need to
try it while it is smoking. I will get that since I also sanitized
my table before working. The perfect balance of
sweet and salty, it's very moist
and the cheese. It's very easy to make. Super affordable and it's very
high class to hear, right? Meatless Puto Pao. Wow, what's that? Of course, your customers
would be intrigued. The Puto Pao has become meatless
but it is still very delicious. So what are you waiting for? Then make your Meatless Puto Pao
already, start earning from it or show your love
already to your family. Enjoy and see you soon :)
