Shrimp dumplings, also known as har gow, are a staple of dim sum menus. These translucent dumplings are filled with a mixture of fresh shrimp, bamboo shoots, and seasonings. The dumplings are wrapped in a thin, translucent dough wrapper and steamed until the shrimp is cooked through and tender. Har gow are prized for their delicate texture and the burst of flavor from the juicy shrimp filling. They are often served with a soy-based dipping sauce. These dumplings require some skill to make, but the effort is well worth it for the delicious results.
