Description
These homemade Rice Noodle Rolls, also known as Cheung Fun, are silky smooth and soft rice noodles that are steamed into thin sheets and rolled. A popular Cantonese dim sum dish often served with a sweet soy sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice flour
- 2 tbsp tapioca starch
- 1 tbsp wheat starch (or cornstarch)
- 2¼ cups water
- Neutral oil for greasing
- Optional fillings: cooked shrimp, green onions, char siu pork
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds, green onions
- Sweet Soy Sauce:
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or vegetarian stir-fry sauce)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together rice flour, tapioca starch, wheat starch, and water until smooth. Let batter rest for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the sweet soy sauce by combining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and water in a small pot. Bring to a boil and set aside.
- Grease a rectangular metal tray or pan with neutral oil. Bring a large wok or steamer pot of water to a boil.
- Pour a thin layer of batter (around ¼ cup) into the greased tray and gently swirl to cover the surface evenly.
- Steam covered for 3–4 minutes until the sheet becomes slightly translucent.
- Remove the tray and let it cool for a few seconds. Use a spatula to gently lift and roll the rice noodle sheet into a roll.
- Repeat the process with remaining batter, re-greasing tray each time.
- Serve rice noodle rolls with sweet soy sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
- Make sure to mix the batter well each time before pouring as starch settles quickly.
- Use a non-stick or stainless steel tray for best results.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat by steaming.
