KEKE PUA'A (AMERICAN SAMOA)
This recipe is from week six of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every country on Earth, and American Samoa is my sixth stop. Kek pua'a is a Samoan version of bao, which you can sometimes find in Chinese restaurants. It is traditionally served with a pork filling.

Steps:
- Proof the yeast with the water and first measure of sugar until it is frothy. Then add it and the rest of the ingredients to your bread machine (or mix and knead by hand).
- Meanwhile, mince the pork and sauté in a little olive oil with the onions. Add the garlic and soy sauce towards the end of cooking. Set aside and let cool.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and punch down. Divide into 8 parts and flatten each one with the palm of your hand.
- Spoon a little bit of the filling into the center of each circle, then pull up the edges of the dough and twist to seal. Make sure the filling is completely contained by the dough. Repeat until you have eight little packets.
- Let the dough rise for another 45 minutes.
- Place the packets into a vegetable steamer and steam for 15 minutes (note: they puff up a lot, so you may need to do this in small batches).

KEKE PUA'A (SAMOAN STEAMED DUMPLINGS)
My best friend in the world is Samoan, and this is an authentic Samoan specialty! I made these, along with some other Samoan dishes, as a surprise since he was feeling homesick. He said "My mama would be so proud!" When a Samoan talks about food like that, that is most definitely a compliment. :)

Steps:
- 1. FOR FILLING: In a large, deep frying pan, saute the pork cubes and onion for about 5 minutes. Add in garlic, sugar, and ginger and stir, cooking about 3-4 minutes. Be sure not to let the garlic and ginger burn. Add in the cold water and soy sauce, stirring well. Let the mixture simmer until the pork cubes are cooked through, but still tender. Remove from heat and cover. Set aside until dough is ready.
- 2. FOR DOUGH: In a large bowl, mix yeast, 1 Tbsp. sugar, and water. Let stand for about 5 minutes until it's frothy.
- 3. Mix milk, butter and the rest of your sugar, salt and eggs. Add this to the yeast mixture and mix until combined. Add 3 cups of flour and gradually mix it together until it forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it until it's smooth, about 10 mins, working in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour.
- 4. Grease the bowl you just used with a bit of oil, place the dough back in, cover and let rise until it's doubled in size. While dough is rising, cut out 16, 4-inch pieces of wax paper. Set up your steamer. Get your filling to room temp. [Maybe do some dishes. ;)] When dough has doubled, punch it down then divide into 16 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then roll or press into a 4-inch (10 cm) circle, dusting with flour if necessary.
- 5. Spoon a generous amt of filling into the center of each circle, being careful not to get liquid on the edges. (Wet edges are hard to seal.) Pleat the edges together over the filling and close the top by pinching and twisting the dough together. Place each bun on a piece of wax paper, pleated side up if your pleats are pretty, or down if you prefer a smooth top surface. Put your buns at least 2 in apart from each other to rise. Let them rise until doubled in size (about 45 minutes) and then steam them on the full steam setting for 15 minutes.
- 6. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A STEAMER: You can also bake the keke pua'as in the oven. 350 F for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush the tops with melted butter as soon as they come out to keep the tops moist.
SAMOAN PANIKEKE
My brothers and I used to eat this when we were younger. They're a lot like doughnuts but with the added fun of topping them with your favorite toppings. After a while of not having these, I started making them on my own for my family, and I enjoy them as much today as I did back then!

Steps:
- Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl until thoroughly mixed, and stir in the bananas, vanilla extract, and water to make a smooth, sticky dough.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). The oil should be deep enough to completely cover the panikekes while frying, or at last 3 inches deep.
- Scoop up a scant 1/4 cup of batter with a large spoon, and use another spoon to push it off into the oil. Fry in small batches of 4 or 5 until they float to the top and turn golden brown, about 3 minutes, then flip them to fry the other side. Remove from the fryer and let drain on paper towels.
