School is finished for the day, and Yun has big plans.She has soccer practice, and that means that she will have a lot of fun.Yun is also excited because Grandmother has asked her to help make har gow, one of Yun's favorite foods.
"Your Grandfather has cooked the shrimp and vegetables for the filling,"Grandmother said," and I've mixed the dough.We can put together the dough and filling now, and I'll cook it later."
"Grandmother, why don't the har gow that I make look like the ones that you make?Your har gow look perfect. My har gow are too thin, and they fall apart."
"No one ever makes perfect har gow the very first time," said Grandmother."I remember that my mother had to show me many times.Either the dough was too thin, or it was so thick that I couldn't fold it.Although I tried and tried, I couldn't make my har gow look right.It just takes a little practice."
"Here's how to do it.First make the dough flat and round, and then make four folds on the side,"Grandmother explained, "so that it looks like a little pocket.Then put a spoonful of filling inside and press the dough closed!"
"Now you try it, Yun.”
"I see!" exclaimed Yun."If I make the dough flat and thin, but not too thin, it's easier to fold.That looks much better!"
"Yes, it does. Be sure to pinch it closed all the way so that the filling doesn't fall out."
Grandmother and Yun made many har gow."Don't they look good, Grandmother?"
"They sure do," she answered.
"Do you think that we've made enough of them?"
"Yes, I think so," laughed Grandmother."There are even enough for two hungry girls like you and Jen.Now go and get ready for your soccer practice!"
