Fun guo, orChaozhou fun guo (潮州粉粿), sometimes spelledfun quor,fun gor,fen guo,Chiu Chow dumpling,Teochew dumpling, orfun kor, is a variety ofsteameddumpling[1] from theChaoshan area of coastal easternGuangdong, a province inSouthern China. Fun guo looks very similar tohar gaw (shrimp dumplings) in Cantonese-style dim sum.[2]
In theChaozhou dialect ofMin Nan, the dumplings are calledhung gue (粉餜), but they are more widely known by their Cantonese name. They are also eaten in non-Chaozhou regions of Guangdong.
The fillings of Chaozhou fun guo are peanuts,jícama,leaf celery (唐芹), sweet preserved radish, chopped freshgarlic chives, minced pork and dried shrimps.
In Hawaii,fun guo is known aspepeiao, the Hawaiian word forear, because it resembles an ear.[3][4]
