Har Gow — Crystal Skin Prawn Dumpling (虾饺晶皮)
Guangdong Province — Cantonese dim sum foundational
The most technically demanding steamed dim sum: har gow (shrimp dumpling) in crystal skin (crystal rice skin — jing pi) made from wheat starch and tapioca starch. The wrapper should be translucent enough to reveal the pink prawn filling, yet strong enough to withstand pleating without tearing. Perfect har gow requires at least 7 pleats; the highest-quality versions have 9–12 pleats on one side only.
