Fun guo, or Chaozhou fun guo (潮州粉粿), sometimes spelled fun quor, fun gor, fen guo, Chiu Chow dumpling, Teochew dumpling, or fun kor, is a variety of steamed dumpling[1] from the Chaoshan area of coastal eastern Guangdong, a province in Southern China. Fun guo looks very similar to har gaw (shrimp dumplings) in Cantonese-style dim sum.[2]
Teochew cuisine
[edit]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.
Hawaiian cuisine
[edit]In Hawaii, fun guo is known as pepeiao, the Hawaiian word for 'ear', named for its shape resembling an ear.[3][4]
