Roll out each ball and fill with choice of filling (see footnote for my chicken and pork filling). Gather and twist the edges together to secure the filling.

Instructions

  1. 1 Put the warm water in a small mixing bowl and add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar; stir to dissolve. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining 15 teaspoons of sugar and the oil and mix until smooth. Add the salt, 1 cup of flour and the yeast mixture; stir well. Add the remaining 5 cups flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  3. 3 Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, supple and elastic; about 10 minutes. Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in it and turn to coat the dough with oil. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place until the dough has doubled in volume; about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 equal pieces. Form each piece into a cylinder and roll out until the 'log' is 1/2 inch in diameter. Using a sharp knife, cut each 'log' into 1/2 inch pieces. Place the pieces, flat side down, onto two lightly greased baking sheets. Gently press each roll down to flatten.
  5. 5 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  6. 6 Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
  7. 7 Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Bring 2 quarts of water of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add chicken, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until done. Reserve chicken stock, and allow chicken to cool. Cut chicken into small cubes.
  2. 2 In a large skillet or wok, saute pork until evenly brown. Stir in chicken, cabbage, and carrots. Cook over medium heat until cabbage is tender. Remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly while you separate the wrappers.
  3. 3 In small bowl, combine enough flour and water to make a paste about the consistency of glue. Spoon meat mixture into a thin line on each wrapper, and roll up, using a dab of the flour paste to seal the edge. Keep each lumpia thin; if you over fill them, the wrapper will tear. Save about 1/2 to 1/4 of the filling in the pot for the pancit.
  4. 4 Heat large skillet with 1/2 to 1 inch of oil. Fry the lumpia one side at a time, until a nice golden brown. Drain, standing each piece upright, in a pot or bowl lined with paper towel.
  5. 5 Return the remainder of the filling to the stove, and gently mix in the pancit noodles. Gradually add the chicken stock, and cook until noodles are tender.
  6. 6 For the sauce: With a mortar and pestle or back of a spoon, crush the garlic, then mix into the vinegar. Serve in small bowls with spoons. The sauce can be used as a dip, or to spoon into the lumpia.

Instructions

  1. 1 Make dough: Heat milk in a microwave-safe container in the microwave until lukewarm but not scalding, 15 to 30 seconds. Pour lukewarm milk into a large bowl. Add eggs, oil, and water; mix well.
  2. 2 Mix together flour, yeast, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir into milk mixture until fully incorporated. Cover the bowl and let rest for 15 minutes.
  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed if too sticky, about 5 minutes. Shape dough into a smooth ball by tucking folded ends under. Place into a clean bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, prepare filling: Place pork in a bowl with soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  5. 5 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, garlic, and star anise in hot oil for 2 minutes. Add ground pork mixture; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in water; reduce heat and let simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan occasionally until mixture is glazed but not soupy, about 10 minutes. Transfer filling to a bowl and refrigerate until dough is ready.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 100 degrees F (37 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. 7 Portion dough into golf ball-sized pieces, about 2-inches in diameter. Arrange on the prepared baking pan with 1 to 2 inches between them. Flatten dough balls using your hand to 1/4-inch thickness or slightly larger than the palm of your hand. Put 1 tablespoon filling in the dough centers. Gather edges of dough at the top; twist and pinch to seal. Place each bun back on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. 8 Turn off the oven once it has reached temperature. Transfer buns on the baking sheet to the warm oven and let buns rest until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  9. 9 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), leaving buns inside. Bake buns until bottoms are lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
