Yau gok (油角) or Jau gok (炸角) is a traditional pastry found in Cantonese cuisine, originating from Guangdong Province in China. The term gok (角) reflects the crescent shape of the pastries;[1] they differ from the connotation of steamed or pan-fried Chinese dumplings, normally associated with the phonetically similar term Jiaozi (餃仔). They are most commonly prepared during Chinese New Year, and consumed in Cantonese-speaking regions and communities, including Hong Kong and Malaysia.[2]
