Har Gow, or better known in Hong Kong and other countries as “Hakaw” is the result of simple ingredients (shrimp, bamboo shoot and pork fat) combined together, delicately wrapped in thin dough. This creates one of the most simple and familiar flavors of dim sum in Asian cuisine.

After the World War II, people in Hong Kong love to use simple ingredients and simple cooking methods, like stir-frying, steaming, roasting and braising. The result? The best dim sum dishes in the world.
