Har Gow, also known as Xia Jiao, is a classic dim sum dish that features delicate shrimp dumplings. The dumpling wrapper is made from a combination of wheat starch and tapioca starch, resulting in a translucent and slightly chewy texture. The filling is made with fresh shrimp, bamboo shoots, and seasonings such as ginger and sesame oil. Har Gow is steamed until the dumplings become plump and the shrimp filling turns juicy and flavorful. These dumplings are often served with soy sauce or a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar for dipping. Har Gow is a staple in dim sum restaurants and is loved for its exquisite taste and beautiful appearance.
