About Har gau
Har Gau, often referred to as shrimp dumplings, is a staple of Cantonese dim sum. Originating from southern China, this delicate dish consists of a translucent, thin wheat starch wrapper encasing a filling made of fresh shrimp, sometimes complemented with bamboo shoots, pork fat, or a touch of seasoning. Its authentic preparation requires skill to achieve the characteristic pleated appearance. Har Gau is low in fat and rich in protein, thanks to the shrimp, which is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. However, the wrapper can be high in refined carbohydrates, and the inclusion of pork fat may contribute saturated fat. While steamed cooking makes Har Gau a relatively healthy option compared to fried alternatives, moderation is key due to its sodium content, often elevated from soy sauce or other flavorings traditionally used in the recipe.
