Har Gow is hard to prepare especially you need to have very fresh shrimps as ingredient, it is the soul of this dim sum. I highly recommend you to prepare it right before you want to serve it.
(These are the steamed shrimp dumplings that become opaque
or translucent after steaming.)
Yield: 24 dumplings
Ingredients:
Har Gow Dough:
2 Tbsp Potato starch
1 cup Wheat starch
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup boiling water, plus 3 TB Boiling water
1 tsp Lard3
Filling:
Wheat starch for dusting
1 lb Raw shrimps, peeled and deviened - cut into bite size
2 ounces Pork fat, chopped fine
1/4 cup Bamboo shoots, chopped
1/4 tsp Ground white pepper
1/4 tsp Grated fresh ginger juice
1/2 tsp Salt
1/5 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp Sesame oil
1 Tbsp Chopped corriander (optional)
1 Egg white
1 TB Dry sherry
1 TB Cornstarch
Directions:
1) Place all filling ingredients in a bowl and mix well by hand until the ingredients form a smooth and rather firm stuffing. This will take about 2 minutes.
2) Dough: Measure both starches and salt into a small mixing bowl. Quickly pour the boiling water (not real hot one but hot enough to desolve the starches) into the starches while stirring with chopsticks until you get a partially cooked dough. Do not overwork the dough.
3) Quickly add the lard in little pinches and then knead until smooth. When the dough is smooth, after about 2 minutes' kneading, cover it with the mixing bowl and allow it to rest for 15 minutes before shaping. To shape the dumplings, pull just a bit more than 1 tsp of dough from the ball.
4) Keep the remainder of the dough covered with a wet towel.
5) Roll the small amount into a ball and place onto a floured marble board. Roll out into a circle about 3 inches in diameter.
6) Place 1 t of the shrimp filling in the center of the circle of dough and fold over into a half-moon. Use a tiny bit of water for sealing the edges. Be sure to gently press out all the air.
7) Use your finger to make a few little pleats on the top surface when you seal the edges for decoration. Steam on an oiled bamboo steaming rack for 12 minutes.
Enjoy!
PS. Put the shrimps under running tap water for about 15 minutes before you mix it with other filling ingredients can make the shrimp meat a bit more crunchy.

Sorry i could not find one for deep fry but here is one for steaming.
the filling would be really the SAME
This recipe makes 30 - 35 Har Gow dumplings.
Dough:
3/4 cup wheat starch
2 tablespoons tapioca starch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons boiling water
2 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil:
Har Gow Filling
6 ounces raw shrimp, rinsed, tails removed, chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped bamboo shoots
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped green onion
3/4 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1/4 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Pinch of fresh ground white pepper (about 1/8 teaspoon)
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Other:
Vegetable oil, as needed
PREPARATION:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the wheat starch, tapioca starch and the salt. Slowly stir in 1/2 cup of the boiling water. Add the oil and begin using your hands to shape into a dough. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of boiling water if the dough is too dry.
Don’t overwork the dough, but continue shaping for about 2 minutes, until it is smooth and shiny. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
2. To prepare the filling, place the shrimp in a medium bowl, and add the other ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, to give the flavors a chance to blend.
3. To make the dumplings: Coat a paper towel with vegetable oil and use it to oil your cutting board or work surface and the broad side of a cutting knife or cleaver (a cleaver works best). Keep the dough covered to prevent it drying out while preparing the dumplings.
4. Break off 1 teaspoon of the Har Gau dough, roll into a ball and then flatten it by pressing it in the palm of your hand. Lay the dough on the work surface and press down on it with the oiled side of the knife or cleaver to form a circle that is 2 1/2 - 3 inches in diameter. Add a heaping teaspoon of filling and place it in the middle of the wrapper, spreading it out evenly but not touching the edges.
5. Carefully lift the upper edge of the wrapper and fold it over the filling. Use your thumb and forefinger to form pleats in the dough, and pinch the edges closed. Place the filled har gau on a plate and cover with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out while preparing the remainder of the dumplings.
6. Prepared a steamer for steaming. Steam the dumplings in batches, on an oiled plate, until the wrapper is translucent and the shrimp appear slightly orange (13 – 15 minutes). Serve the Har Gau with hot chili oil and/or soy sauce for dipping.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU6KB
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
