Har Gow
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Har gow dumplings differ slightly by using translucent rice or tapioca starch wrappers instead of wheat flour. The filling traditionally consists of shrimp, bamboo shoots, ginger, and sesame oil in a light preparation. While the wrapper eliminates wheat fructans, some commercial recipes incorporate onion or garlic powder into the shrimp paste. Portion sizes remain modest compared to other dumpling varieties, offering slight digestive relief.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The rice-based wrapper removes wheat concerns but does not guarantee allium-free fillings. Requesting plain shrimp and bamboo shoot versions without added pastes ensures lowest exposure. Verifying ingredient transparency with kitchen staff prevents hidden fructan surprises. Homemade har gow using certified ingredients provides complete FODMAP management.
