[@myrtlevenussaavedra6831]

Is it okay to use just vegetable oil or butter for the shortening?

[@SavorEasy]

2 tbsp vegetable oil will do. But please avoid using butter for it will change the color of the dough.

[@julieajoc4796]

What kind of flour did you used please coz it’s white color?

[@Jayne747]

Hi, may I know if your flour is all purpose flour or pao flour ?

[@poonminchang6165]

Hi, what can l substitute for the shortening? Tqvm.

[@maxineb9598]

Use vegetable oil instead.

[@annieyu7966]

Any substitute for vegetable shortening?

[@lestercaraballo5379]

Yes any substitute?

[@lutherfox5744]

I use lard.

[@jeanyan9579]

Vegetable shortening is a white, solid fat made from vegetable oils. In the UK it is sold under the brand names Trex, Flora White or Cookeen. In the US Crisco is the best known and there is also an organic solid vegetable shortening made by Earth Balance. In Australia the best known brand is Copha.

[@criselda84]

No actually mas mura ang shortening sa butter dun sa aisle ng mga nabibilhan ng oil

[@SavorEasy]

Hello dear, please use 2 tablespoons of oil instead of veg shortening. As neutral color as possible so it will not affect the color of our dough :)

Hi! Can I use bread flour?

[@maxineb9598]

All purpose flour has less protein and will give you a lighter and fluffier bun

My bao NEVER come out soft, fluffy, or white as your do. It's ALWAYS tan colored, flat, "doughy" and chewy. CAN'T figure out WHAT I'm doing wrong???😢 Tried several recipes and they ALL come out the same, indicating I AM doing something wrong😂 My dough are proofed anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight(in the fridge) with no change?

[@maryarden499]

Hello, Tanong ko lng po ng overall outcome ng siopao? Malambot po ba yung dough?

[@amyolarte]

Oh no!! 😱😱 this is one thing that you need to keep in mind when using sesame oil: It should not be used when cooking with high heat. Listen sesame oil has a very low smoke point, which is the temperature at which an oil will start to burn. Not good

[@gardengalsu]

You're correct, so simply add it in when you turn off the heat --- it's so flavorful.
