Guangdong-style Shrimp Vermicelli Roll

Guangdong-style Shrimp Vermicelli Roll

Guangdong-style Shrimp Vermicelli Roll, also known as Har Gow, is a popular dim sum dish. It is made by wrapping shrimp and vermicelli in a delicate, translucent wheat starch skin. The filling is usually seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and other aromatics, giving it a savory and umami flavor. When steamed, the vermicelli roll becomes soft and chewy, while the shrimp filling remains juicy and succulent. It is often served with soy sauce, chili oil, or other dipping sauces. The dish is a staple in Cantonese cuisine and can be found in many Chinese restaurants around the world.
