Gau Gee is a classic local Hawaii treat. It's similar to deep fried wontons but is even more delicious! Featuring a savory pork and shrimp filling.

Gau Gee is one of those only-in-Hawaii treats that locals love and people on the mainland have no idea about. You won't find gau gee at touristy spots in Hawaii, you gotta go where the locals go ^_^

Gau Gee is similar to wonton (they use the same type of wrapper). But gau gee is folded into a simple rectangle or triangle (wontons are folded into more complex shapes) and deep fried!

The filling is extra flavorful and includes pork and shrimp. Some places pack in the filling real good. Some people add bonus items like shiitake mushrooms or Chinese parsley. Gau gee is like wonton, upgraded.

Gau gee is on the menu of many local Chinese restaurants around town. It's a beloved local pupu (appetizer or snack). So good with beer!

You'll often encounter big trays of gau gee at potluck parties (either homemade or restaurant bought) and family dinners. Everyone loves gau gee.

If you're in Hawaii, visit these local spots for an order of gau gee. It'll be fun to compare your homemade version with the restaurant ones!

Below is the gau gee recipe we make at home. It's a reliable recipe that uses half pork and half shrimp. Just mix the filling, fold the gau gee, and fry. Pretty easy and very rewarding. A definite crowd pleaser.

These are the ingredients you'll need for gau gee:

This recipe has three main parts:

Make the filling.Get a mixing bowl and combine all the ingredients (except for the wonton wrappers). Mix until everything is evenly combined.

I like to use a disposable glove and mix with my hand. Make sure to mix in one direction so that the filling "sticks" to each other nicely.

Form the gau gee.Put about 2 teaspoons of filling onto a wonton wrapper. Lightly wet the edges and fold to form a rectangle. Repeat until you've used up all the wrappers and filling.

Note: some people prefer to form triangle shape, but we usually do rectangle (which seems to be more common). It's just personal preference.

Fry the gau gee.Once you have all your pieces folded, it's time to fry! I like the oil at about 350F. It takes about 2 minutes to fry each side, 4 minutes in total.

Drain on a plate lined with a paper towel to help soak up excess oil.

Eat and enjoy!Gau gee is best hot from the fryer. It's still tasty at room temperature (which is how we usually enjoy it at potluck parties), but like a doughnut, getting one straight from the fryer is heavenly.

You can eat the gau gee plain or pair it with a dipping sauce. These are the most popular sauce options:
