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.

In Hawaii, fun guo is known as {{lang|haw|pepeiao}}, the Hawaiian word for ear, because it resembles an ear.{{cite web |title=Mea 'Ono Pua'a |url=https://imagesofoldhawaii.com/mea-ono-puaa/ |website=Images of Old Hawaiʻi |publisher=Hoʻokuleana LLC |language=en |date=19 December 2015}}{{cite web |title=Nā Puke Wehewehe ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi |url=https://wehewehe.org/gsdl2.85/cgi-bin/hdict?e=q-11000-00---off-0hdict--00-1----0-10-0---0---0direct-10-ED--4--textpukuielbert%2ctextmamaka-----0-1l--11-haw-Zz-1---Zz-1-home-ear--00-4-1-00-0--4----0-0-11-00-0utfZz-8-00&a=d&d=D24703#hero-bottom-banner |website=wehewehe.org}}
