About Prawn dumplings

Prawn dumplings, also known as har gow, are a beloved delicacy in Cantonese cuisine, often served as a staple in traditional dim sum. These delightful dumplings feature a translucent, chewy wrapper made from wheat starch and tapioca flour, encasing a juicy filling of chopped prawns, sometimes mixed with a hint of bamboo shoots, garlic, or ginger for extra flavor. Low in calories and high in protein from the prawns, they offer a lean source of nutrients. However, their sodium content can be high due to soy sauce or seasoning in the recipe, and the refined starch in the wrappers contributes limited nutritional value. Typically steamed, they are a healthier option compared to fried dim sum items. Prawn dumplings are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, offering a flavorful taste of authentic Chinese culinary tradition.
