  • This video shows you how to make shrimp dumpling in detail.
    Har Gow is the transliteration of the Chinese term 蝦餃, means shrimp dumpling. Along with Shumai and Char Siu Bao, they form the triumvirate of the world famous Cantonese Dim Sum.
    Har Gow is by far the most artistry one, with the bright pink chunks of fresh shrimps veiled thought the thin, stretchy, chewy, delicate and translucent wrapper.
    This true staple of Cantonese tradition looks simple, but many people are hesitating to make it at home due to the technique involved. What you need is some practice how to pleat the dumplings, although the presentation does not affect the taste of Har Gow.

    Hello Mr. Kwan, is there an alternative to making the har gow wraper myself, i.e. can I use the won-ton/shomai wraper instead?

    • @TasteofAsianFood
      @TasteofAsianFood  4 роки тому

      The texture of the shrimp dumpling wrapper looks and taste different from wonton wrapper. Therefore I don't think it is a good option.

    Hello, I've been trying to make har gow probably the 10th time by now. While kneading the dough, everything seems fine. But after steaming, the har gow lost their shapes and just turned into blobs. Do you have any idea what might have happened? I've tried multiple recipes and also have the same issues. I'm sure I'm using wheat starch but not sure what went wrong.

    • @TasteofAsianFood
      @TasteofAsianFood  4 роки тому +1

      It sounds like the dumpling lost its shape after steaming. I have not encountered this before but guess it might be the amount of water. (take into consideration that your use starch, and not flour). I will try to reduce the amount of water in the skin. The amount of water in the recipe serves as a guide as the type and quality of the starch can vary.

      Hi, I have been trying to make the har gow using your recipe and instructions 3 times so far but still fail, I have been noticing these 2 similar mistakes in my cooking but don't know how to correct them:
      1) When flatten the dough out into thin disks, I notice my dough stuck onto the surface no matter how much oil I applied onto the surface. I used a marble pastry board, I notice you and other chefs are using wooden board, is that water you applied onto the board or is it oil? If my dough is that sticky, is it because it does not have enough wheat starch?
      2) When finished steaming, the skin seems to be really wet, sticky and easy to break. For this one I don't know what the error is :/
      I've tried another recipe where they use 1 part rice flour to 1 part tapioca starch, the skin taste a lil better but the texture is not as soft, and the color turns greyish after cooking. Can you give my some more suggestions?
      Thank you!

    • @TasteofAsianFood
      @TasteofAsianFood  6 років тому +1

      Hi Anna,
      I am trying to visualize your problem and hope the following helps.
      It sounds like the dough for making the skin is too wet, as it was sticky on the table and soft and wet.
      1. Try to reduce the water further (from 160 percent to say 140 percent). I am taking the bet that you follow the recipe but using different brands of tapioca and wheat starch that I have, and the water holding power might be different.
      2. Another point is to make sure you are using wheat starch 澄麵粉, not the normal wheat flour for making a cake. They are not the same.
      Hope this works!

    Hi there. How did you har gao skin turn out? From your recipe you are using 1:1 ratio for wheat starch and tapioca starch. I see Chef Wantanmien is using 1:0.5 in her recipe, meaning she is using more wheat starch than tapioca starch. Please reply. Thank you.

    • @TasteofAsianFood
      @TasteofAsianFood  7 років тому +2

      Hi Lotus,
      Your question is an interesting one, which I have been trying to look for the answer when I set up the recipe.
      In short, there is no fixed rule. I have tried four combinations of wheat starch, tapioca starch, and oil, and finally, settle with the one in the recipe.
      You can read about this in my article (and recipe), under the section "Step by step guide to make the best Har Gow" I have listed down the ratio of the ingredients for the dumpling skin there.
