Dim Sum Har Gow, Chinese Crystal Prawn Dumpling Recipe | 虾饺的做法

I finally perfected my Har Gow recipe! Har Gow is the most popular Chinese Dim Sum cuisine. Har Gow is also known as Chinese Prawn Crystal Dumpling. The filling is very tasty with fresh prawns. The dumpling skin is translucent, thin and tender. Serve warm as the crystal dumpling skin will turn chewy when its cold.

Made this today! Absolute yummy!

Oh so efficient ! thanks for trying my recipe! So happy it turned out well 😁Do try my other recipes 😊

[@HTSGOSU]

Can make this into a Michelin Star dumplings recipe. Remove lard from the recipe. Replace the lard with shrimp mayonnaise that you make like this: Wash the shrimp shells in a colander. Put the shells in a fry pan on medium heat to dry out. Add the sesame oil to the pan. Cook shells until they are crispy. The shrimp flavor will go into the oil. Dump everything into the colander and let the oil drip out. Use the oil and an egg to make mayonnaise. Bonus: if you're hardcore, season the crispy shells and eat them like chips.

Hi Ruyi Do you hand knead while the dough is still hot or you let it cool for a while? Also, would it be better to knead in a mixer? Thanks

[@The-yx5fe]

hello again :) i have a few questions 1. lets say i make too many or cant finish , is it okay to leave the hargao in the freezer after i wrapped it? 2. you mentioned to freeze the shrimp for crunchy texture, in that case if it were to decide to wrap it only when i want to eat it, do i have to thaw the shrimp then steam it or i can jsut steam it while its still hard sorry for asking too many question in your videos, im a beginner at cooking ahah :)

[@The-yx5fe]

And how many gram is that shrimp.

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi no worries definitely happy to help ☺️ for question 1. Yes you can freeze after wrapping. Don’t place the Har gow too close to each other so that it doesn’t stick together. Just steam straight from the freezer for 10 minutes or until the skin is translucent over boiling water 2. If you want to wrap it after marinating and freezing, you need to thaw the shrimp 🍤 if not it’s not possible to wrap. But definitely recommend wrapping it right after you marinate the shrimp. Less messy and the dumpling skin keeps the moisture of the shrimp

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

With shell it’s 750 grams without shell probably 450-500 grams

What can I use as a substitute for lard?

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi the lard is to give it some moisture. Can use vegetable oil or shortening.

[@lilyleung2237]

Made this today and it was the perfect dough wrapper recipe. But I tried to double the wrapper recipe and it became too wet. I tried to half the recipe and it didn't work out either. Just followed the original recipe. Just finish wrapping one batch then make a new batch of dough. Don't know why this is so. Also, pour the very hot water only into the middle of the bowl only. Don't pour the water in a circular motion all over all of flour. Then chop up and down all around with the same type of spatula she uses to get some hot water mixed with the flour mixture. Then slowly incorporate the rest of the flour into the chopped up dough with hot water. This seems to work for me. You will see the hot water turn the flour in the middle of the bowl a bit translucent in color but yet you will still have some powdery flour all around the edge of the bowl. If you pour the hot water in a circular motion all around all the dough it will make the dough too wet and mushy. If you master the dough then it will be a success.

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi Lily, sounds like you did alot of experimenting 😊. Not sure myself why it doesn't work if you double it or half it. Definitely something for me to find out. But as for the method of pouring the hot water, it has to be really boiling hot, so if you pour in circular motion, the water releases the heat while pouring, so its not as effective. Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy it turned out well in the end. 😁

[@chun_lisfii3596]

Because cooking is not proportional if you want to change the initial portion. I've read that somewhere. If you want x2, doesn't mean you have to double all the ingredients. Pity

[@vitachao5437]

Can i use another flour to substitute wheat flour?

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

[@Wlimvee]

hello i would like to ask a question are there any other alternatives for lard? it is hard to fine it where i live and i would like to make this for my family at chinese new year. thank you

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi, lard is to make the dumpling more moist. If you don't have lard, you can replace with mini cubes of pork fat. But the pork fat is not the pork belly fat, it is Leaf Fat. If you don't take pork, you can replace with vegetable oil. Add a little at a time and mix after each addition until the prawns become sticky

[@Wlimvee]

@@ruyiasianrecipes thank you

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Happy to help ☺️

[@Wingburner]

Try using vegetable shortening like Kremelta or Crisco.

[@kotkotyouw]

Can i substitute lard with chicken fat? Or can i not using lard at all?

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

You mean rendered chicken fats? Or pieces of chicken fats? I think chicken fats rendered should be ok. But chicken fat pieces probably not cos not sure if it will fully render during the steaming process. If don’t use lard, need to have some oil or fats. If not the prawn filling will be dry after steaming. ☺️

[@tripnidm1659]

Same 😁

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

👍☺️

[@The-yx5fe]

Is there any other option for the lard if i want to make it pork free?

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi it’s ok if there is no lard. It’s will probably be less juicy. You can replace with some vegetable oil, but I probably won’t add too much like 5-10 ml. Cos it’s texture not sticky like lard. Hope this helps 😊

Can I make half of the glass dough recipe to make 16 dumplings?

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Yes should be fine

[@MakesOneWander]

The portions for your har gao dough and garlic chives crystal dumpling dough seems different. This one seems to be less in grams for both flours and water however in both videos it mentioned it’ll make 32 portions. Even if they’re both crystal dumplings, are the doughs still slightly different?

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi Evelyn, yes, it’s different I try to match the texture with the different filling. The hargow skin will be more thin and when you bite it is less chewy. For the chives the skin is thicker but I changed the formula ratio between the different flour, so the skin is more chewy and gooey yet soft. Hope this explains it

Just sprinkle some flour and knead until it’s not sticky. Also , use a scraper lift it from the table and knead just using the palm of both hands. Hope this helps ☺️
