From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fun guo, or Chaozhou fun guo sometimes spelled fun quor, fun gor, fen guo, Chiu Chow dumpling or Teochew dumpling is a variety of steamed dumpling from the Chaozhou area of coastal eastern Guangdong, a province in Southern China.
[edit] Ingredients
They are typically filled with chopped peanuts, garlic chives, ground pork, dried shrimp, and shiitake mushrooms. Other filling ingredients may include cilantro, jicama, or dried daikon. The filling is wrapped in a thick dumpling wrapper made from a mixture of flours or plant starches mixed together with boiling water. Although recipe for the wrapper dough may vary, it typically consists of de-glutenized wheat flour (澄面), tapioca flour (菱粉), and corn or potato starch (生粉).[1] The dumplings are usually served with a small dish of chili oil.
[edit] Teochew cuisine
In the Chaozhou dialect of Min Nan, the dumplings are called hung gue (粉餜), but they are more widely known by their Cantonese name. They are also eaten in non-Chaozhou regions of Guangdong.
