About Har gao
Har Gao, a staple of Cantonese dim sum, is a delicate shrimp dumpling encased in a translucent, slightly chewy tapioca and wheat starch wrapper. Originating from Guangdong, China, this bite-sized delight typically contains a mixture of fresh shrimp, pork fat, and seasoning, offering a balance of umami and sweetness. Har Gao is often praised for being steamed, a cooking method that preserves nutrients and avoids added fats. The protein-packed shrimp provides essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting muscle repair and cardiovascular health. However, Har Gao's wrapper is starch-heavy, offering minimal fiber, and the addition of pork fat increases its calorie and saturated fat content. While a delicious and nutrient-dense option in moderation, it’s important to enjoy Har Gao as part of a balanced meal to account for its relatively high sodium levels. Perfectly suited for those seeking a flavorful yet light dining experience.
