Har gow
Har gow is a traditional Cantonese dim sum dumpling filled with shrimp. The dumpling wrapper is typically made from a combination of wheat starch and tapioca flour, giving it a slightly translucent appearance. Har gow is often steamed and served with a delicious dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Method
- Finely chop the shrimp into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Add cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, white pepper, salt, ginger, and green onion to the shrimp. Mix well to combine.
- Take a dumpling wrapper and place a small spoonful of the shrimp mixture in the center.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold the wrapper over the filling, pleating and sealing the edges to form a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Place the dumplings in a bamboo steamer or steaming basket lined with parchment paper.
- Steam the har gow dumplings over boiling water for about 8-10 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
- Serve the har gow hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Enjoy!
