A Cantonese dim sum classic, har gow are made by filling translucent wheat starch wrappers with shrimp filling and pleating them closed. Rolling the wrappers thin enough to turn translucent and forming neat pleats take skill.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the dough

10 min

Mix the wheat starch, cornstarch and salt. Add the boiling water and stir quickly, then add the olive oil and mix until a smooth dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and leave to rest for 10 minutes.

2

Make the filling

8 min

Finely chop the shrimp. Add the bamboo shoots, scallions, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce and starch, and mix until the filling is sticky.

3

Shape the dumplings

15 min

Roll the dough out thinly and cut out rounds. Place some filling in the center of each round, then fold and pleat the edges to seal it into a crescent shape.

4

Steam the dumplings

7 min

Arrange the dumplings on lightly oiled steaming paper and steam over boiling water for 7 minutes, until the wrappers turn translucent and the shrimp turns pink.

Reminder

Dust the dough with cornstarch rather than flour when rolling it out; otherwise, it may stick and tear. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), crustaceans (shrimp) and sesame. The listed soy sauce is also a soy allergen.

Hamuru 10 dakika dinlendirince gerçekten daha saydam ve kolay şekillenir oldu, ilk denemede güzel sonuç aldım.
