Fun guo
Chinese steamed dumplings
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 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.
Teochew cuisine
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.
The fillings of Chaozhou fun guo are peanuts, jícama, leaf celery (唐芹), sweet preserved radish, chopped fresh garlic chives, minced pork and dried shrimps.
Hawaiian cuisine
In Hawaii, fun guo is known as pepeiao, the Hawaiian word for ear, because it resembles an ear.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Fun guo” as chinese steamed dumplings. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as chinese steamed dumplings. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 14, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2215889. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
