Guangdong-style Steamed Shrimp Dumplings

Guangdong-style Steamed Shrimp Dumplings

Guangdong-style steamed shrimp dumplings, also known as har gow, are translucent, bite-sized dumplings that are filled with pieces of fresh shrimp and bamboo shoots. The dough is made of a mixture of wheat starch and tapioca starch and is rolled out thin before wrapping around the shrimp filling. The dumplings are then steamed until the dough becomes slightly sticky and the shrimp is cooked through. The result is a delicate, flavorful dumpling that is a beloved staple of Cantonese cuisine.
