About Hakaw

Hakaw, or Har Gow, is a classic Cantonese dim sum dish originating from southern China. These delicate shrimp dumplings are wrapped in a translucent, chewy tapioca and wheat flour skin that is steamed to perfection. The filling typically consists of fresh shrimp, often mixed with bamboo shoots, sesame oil, and seasoning for added flavor. They are low in calories and rich in protein due to the shrimp, making them an appealing option for those seeking lean protein sources. However, Hakaw contains refined carbohydrates from the dumpling skin and may have a considerable sodium content depending on the preparation. Served as part of a dim sum spread, Hakaw exemplifies the balance of texture and taste in traditional Chinese cuisine, though it’s best enjoyed in moderation for those watching carbohydrate or sodium intake.
