Pork and Chive Dumplings
DKK55.00
The classic combination — ground pork, fresh chives, and a touch of sesame oil, wrapped in wheat dough and steamed.
Tip: Order 6 dumplings (one serving) — you can eat them on-site or take them away. Most people order 2-3 servings to mix fillings.

Shrimp and Pork Dumplings
DKK55.00
A hybrid dumpling combining fresh shrimp and ground pork — lighter than pork-only, with briny sweetness.
Tip: This filling sits between 'classic' and 'adventurous' — perfect if you're introducing someone to GAO for the first time.

Pan-Fried Dumplings (Potstickers)
DKK55.00
The same fillings (pork, shrimp, or vegetarian) but pan-fried until one side crisps and browns — more texture contrast.
Tip: The crispy bottom (called 'lacy') is the prize — eat these quickly so the crispness doesn't soften in steam.

Vegetarian Dumplings
DKK50.00
A seasonal vegetarian filling (often mushroom, cabbage, and leafy greens) wrapped in the same wheat dough and steamed.
Tip: Vegetarian dumplings are slightly cheaper (50 DKK vs 55 DKK) — good value for a filling lunch side.
