Food Culture

Har Gow (Shrimp Dumpling) is a classic Chinese Dim Sum dish. It is usually served as a traditional and iconic breakfast dish in the local tea houses and restaurants in the Guangzhou, and Hong Kong regions. Har Gow is a delicacy known for its translucent wrapper and scrumptious shrimp filling, and it has become one of the most popular dishes in many Tea Houses and Chinese restaurants around the world including the United States, Canada, Singapore and Australia. Recently, food manufacturers began to market and sell frozen Har Gow that can be easily steamed or microwaved at home. These products are sold at retails stores such as Costco, 99 Ranch Market, and online stores like Amazon in the United States. In Australia, you can find them in Woolworths, and Coles. Chinese Tea Houses are popular in Singapore, and frozen Har Gow is commonly sold at markets like FairPrice, and RedMart. The increasing popularity of Har Gow is creating vast business opportunities worldwide, and manufacturers need to be ready to increase their production capacity and efficiency to expand their sales channels and increase overall revenue.

Handmade Recipe
Food Ingredient

Flour/Potato Starch/Hot Water/Oil/Shrimp/Bamboo Shoots/Ground Pork/Scallions/Salt/Stock Powder/Sugar/Sesame Oil/White Pepper

Making the filling

Finely chop the bamboo shoots and scallions, then mix them with ground pork, and add salt, bouillon/stock powder, sugar, sesame oil, and white pepper to taste.

Making the wrapper

Mix flour and potato starch in a mixing bowl, add hot water, mix it well into a dough, and let it cool. Add cooking oil and knead the dough until it is smooth, then roll it out into a thin log and divide it into small pieces. Flatten each piece of dough into a wrapper; cover the remaining dough to prevent it from drying.

Har Gao Assembling

Take a piece of wrapper and place a spoon-full of filling in the center and a piece of shrimp on top, then seal the wrappers to make Har Gow, preferably with 9-12 pleats. Steam the Har Gao for 5 to 10 minutes, and they are ready to be served.
