Rice noodle roll

Uncommon card · No. 193106

Rice noodle rolls, also known as steamed rice rolls, cheung fun (Chinese: 腸粉), and as look funn or look fun in Hawaii, is a Cantonese dish originating from Guangdong Province in southern China. It is commonly served as either a snack, small meal or variety of dim sum. It is a thin roll made from a wide strip of shahe fen (rice noodles), filled with shrimp, beef, vegetables, or other ingredients. Seasoned soy sauce – sometimes with siu mei drippings – is poured over the dish upon serving. When plain and made without filling, the rice noodle is also known as jyu cheung fun or chee cheong fun (豬腸粉), literally "pork sausage noodle, pork intestine noodle", a reference to its resemblance to a pig's intestines. There is no official recording of the history of rice noodle rolls; most cookbooks claim that it was first made in the 1930s. In Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, people called the dish laai cheung (拉腸 lit. 'pull intestines') because it is a noodle roll that is pulled by hand.
