About Steamed shrimp dumpling

Steamed Shrimp Dumplings, also known as har gow, are a classic dish in Cantonese cuisine, often enjoyed as part of Dim Sum. These delicate dumplings feature a translucent, slightly chewy wrapper made from wheat starch and tapioca flour, encasing a succulent filling of minced shrimp, often mixed with subtle seasonings like sesame oil, salt, and a touch of sugar. The steaming process keeps the dumplings light and low in fat compared to fried alternatives. Rich in protein from the shrimp, they provide essential nutrients like selenium and B vitamins. However, they can be high in sodium due to seasoning and dipping sauces, so moderation is key. With a natural sweetness from the shrimp and a gentle texture, steamed shrimp dumplings are an elegant and flavorful choice for those seeking a healthier appetizer or snack rooted in traditional Chinese culinary heritage.
