Shrimp dumplings, also known as har gow, are a staple of dim sum cuisine. 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 and the wrapper becomes slightly chewy. Har gow are known for their delicate and juicy filling, and they are often served with a soy-based dipping sauce. These dumplings require some skill to make, as the dough wrapper needs to be thin and translucent, but they are well worth the effort.
