- 500 grams Prawns (Peeled & tails-off)
- 12 grams Potato Starch
- 8 grams Salt
- 18 grams Sugar
- 1 tsp White Pepper
- 1 tbsp Chicken Powder
- 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 100 grams Wheat Flour
- 10 grams Potato Starch
- A pinch Salt
- 210ml Boiled Water
- 90 grams Potato Starch (For kneading)
- 2 grams Lard (Or 1 tbsp oil)
- 1). Mix prawns, salt, potato starch, mix until you have a sticky paste. Then add sugar, white pepper, chicken powder & sesame oil, combine well & set aside.
- 2). Mix wheat flour, potato starch, a pinch of salt & hot water, mix well. Allow to cool for 1 minute, then dump potato starch on a working surface and knead the dough on top of it, constantly scraping & mixing everything together until you have a smooth dough. Add the lard/oil and knead well, wrap in cling film to keep moist.
- 3). Tear off a golf ball sized piece, roll into a long strip, then chop a thumb sized piece & flatten with your palm. Grease the side of your knife with oil then press your knife against the dough creating a half moon shape, alternating from top to bottom until you have a thin circular shape.
- 4). Put a spoonful of the prawn mixture in the centre of the pastry and fold however you like (The easiest way is to fold in half, press the edges to seal, make a dent in the middle of the fold until the two ends meet then press them together, creating a shape similar to rosebud).
- 5). If you don't have a steamer bring a pan of water to a boil, put an empty basket in first then put the basket with the har gau on top. Steam for 5 minutes and serve with chilli oil or any condiment of your choice.
