SHRIMP HAR GOW CALORIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix filling ingredients together; stir in one direction, mixing thoroughly; refrigerate this mixture for 1 hour.
• Combine dip ingredients and set aside.
• Sift flour and starch together; gradually add boiling water; add oil and let dough cool.
• Knead dough until smooth; divide dough in half and shape each half into a sausage; divide each sausage into twelve pieces (24 pieces total); when not working with the dough, keep it covered with a damp towel.
• Oil a cleaver and your work surface lightly; press a piece of dough, with the oiled cleaver, into a flat round circle.
• To shape each dumpling- Make 3 deep pleats in the top half of a dough circle to form a little crescent cap; fill with 1 teaspoon of the shrimp mixture; press dough edges together and place dumplings on a lightly oiled plate or an oiled piece of parchment paper over the holes on the first level of the steamer.
• Bring water to boil in the bottom part of the steamer; place steamer section with dumplings over boiling water (if you have multiple'tiers' or sections of the steamer, you can cook them all at once).
• Cover and steam 5 minutes.
• Serve with dip.
• These can be made ahead through the shaping of the dumplings, keeping them covered with a damp cloth or, you can shape the dumplings and freeze them before steaming, defrost before steaming.

Steps:

• Mix the two flours and add around 160ml to 170ml (in dryer climate) boiling hot water. Use a chopstick to stir in the water. Mix well and cover with a lid, set aside for 5 minutes to 10 minutes.
• Add 20ml vegetable oil. Traditionally we use pork lard in the dough. You can choose either one.
• Deal with the dough when it is still warm. Knead everything together to form a ball . The dough should be not too soft. It should be quite firm, similar to common dumpling dough. If the dough is too soft, it is hard to keep the shape after steaming and the skin lots its tenacity.
• Re-knead on operating board until smooth in surface. Cover with wet cloth and set aside for another 10 minutes.
• We can make 24 har gow out of the wrapper dough. So firstly divide the dough into halves and then each half 12 portions.Take one portion out and cover all the others with a wet cloth. Re-knead the small portion and shape it into a round ball.Brush a thin layer of oil on a wide slicing knife.Shape the dough to a round wrapper around 10cm in diameter. If you do not want to use a knife, try a rolling pin after flat it with knife. Be gently and do not break the wrapper. Gently separate it from the operating board with the knife. Take around 1 tablespoon of filling in center and assemble the har gow according to the tutorial in the video or any other ways you like. But seal them completely.
• Bring water to a boil on your stove. Brush some oil on the lined paper (so the dumplings will not stick to the paper) and place them in steam one by one. And then steam the dumplings for 5-6 minutes with high fire.
• Serve hot!
