Hong Kong Style - Rice Noodles Roll "Chu Cheung Fun"

Chu Cheung Fun, or Rice Noodle Rolls, is a beloved dish from Hong Kong’s dim sum culture. Made from a smooth rice batter and steamed into delicate sheets, these rolls are usually served plain or filled with ingredients like shrimp, BBQ pork, or dried shrimp and scallions. In this recipe, I’ll show you how to make a simple home-style version using a pan and steaming tray — no rice cloth required!

Growing up in Hong Kong, this was one of the most comforting street foods I knew. For just a few dollars, you'd get a tray of warm, silky rolls drizzled with sweet soy sauce, hoisin, and a touch of chili — the taste of home in every bite.

What is Chu Cheung Fun?

Chu Cheung Fun (豬腸粉) literally means "pig intestine noodles" due to their rolled shape. Unlike Cantonese-style dim sum rolls filled with shrimp or char siu, this version is plain and focuses on the chewy, silky texture of the rice sheet itself. It’s a classic Hong Kong street food, known for its signature sauce combo and nostalgic vibe.

常見問題 FAQ|Cheung Fun 小貼士與解答

🔹 Q1: Can I make Chu Cheung Fun without rice cloth?

Yes! This recipe shows you how to steam rice noodle rolls using a simple tray or cake pan. No rice cloth is needed — just a thin layer of rice batter and a steamer with a lid. The result is soft, smooth, and perfect for rolling. 這個食譜用普通蒸盤或蛋糕模就能做出滑溜溜的腸粉,不用紗布也可以!米漿鋪薄、蒸氣夠熱,就能輕鬆捲起來。

🔹 Q2: What flour is used to make cheung fun?

Traditionally, a mix of rice flour, tapioca starch, and sometimes wheat starch is used. The combination gives the rolls a balance of elasticity and tenderness. In this recipe, I’ve tested a ratio that works well for home cooking without special equipment. 一般會用粘米粉、木薯粉,有時加入澄麵(小麥澱粉)來增加口感彈性與透明度。

🔹 Q3: What sauces go with Chu Cheung Fun?

The classic combination includes sweet soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and a bit of chili sauce or sesame oil. You can also sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or drizzle a touch of peanut sauce if you like it richer. 港式經典吃法通常配甜豉油、海鮮醬、辣醬,有時會加麻油或花生醬提味,最後灑上白芝麻,味道更有層次。

🔹 Q4: Why is my cheung fun breaking or not rolling properly?

If the batter is too thick or overcooked, the sheet may become too stiff to roll. Try using a thinner batter and steaming just until set (about 2 minutes). Lightly oil your tray and work quickly while it's hot. 若米漿太濃或蒸太久,腸粉會變硬、不易捲。可試調稀一點的米漿,蒸至凝固立即取出,趁熱用油刮起,會滑得多。

🔹 Q5: Can I make it ahead of time?

Freshly steamed cheung fun tastes best right away, but you can refrigerate extra batter for up to 2 days and steam fresh portions when needed. Avoid refrigerating already steamed rolls, as they may turn stiff. 腸粉要即蒸即食口感才滑。多餘的米漿可雪藏兩天內再蒸,不建議預先蒸好冷藏,否則口感會變硬不滑。

This recipe card includes both English and Chinese for the ingredients and steps — thoughtfully designed to support both international readers and Chinese-speaking home cooks.

A nostalgic Hong Kong street snack made from steamed rice rolls and drizzled with hoisin sauce, sweet soy sauce, and sesame dressing. This simple but comforting dish is soft, slippery, and full of childhood memories.
"豬腸粉" 陪伴了不少香港人成長的街頭小食。 它是以純米漿蒸製,再卷成豬腸狀,加上幾種醬料及芝麻,讓人回味無窮。 特別是趕上學或上班前的快捷早餐,抑或放學或放工回家前的小點心。 在外國的中式酒樓,比較常見是蝦腸或叉燒腸那種薄薄的廣式腸粉,而豬腸粉會製作成蝦米腸,再用油煎香。 如果想懷念一下童年味道 - 多醬腸粉,便要親手製作了。

Notes

Yves Tips
  1. Batter thickness is key! Too thick = chewy and stiff,  too thin = fragile.
  2. Steam on high heat and don’t skip the preheating step — this helps texture and prevents sticking.
  3. Want extra bounce? Replace 5g of rice flour with more tapioca starch.

🥢 Cheung Fun: From Street Food to Dim Sum Classic

Cheung Fun originated as a simple street food in southern China and grew into a beloved dim sum item across Cantonese cuisine. Whether stuffed or plain, it's known for its soft, slippery texture and signature sauces — sweet soy, hoisin, sesame oil.

In Hong Kong, you’ll find them in cha chaan tengs, breakfast stalls, and high-end restaurants alike. This recipe is my home-style tribute to those memories.

那個年代的腸粉,總是躲在街角鐵皮小攤裡,熱騰騰又滑溜溜。
現在在異地自己蒸來吃,味道不再一樣,但心情依然熟悉。
你也會想念那碟加黑白芝麻、甜醬辣醬交錯畫圈的豬腸粉嗎?

A little spicy surprise at the end. 😋 seaweed men A little spicy surprise at the end. 😋

The first bite was all about the silky egg and delicate aroma of seaweed. Soft, comforting, and beautifully balanced.

Just when I thought the story had ended, the mentaiko quietly made its appearance — bringing a gentle burst of umami and a hint of spice.

It didn’t steal the spotlight from the egg.

Instead, it completed the whole experience.

Simple ingredients often reveal the most skill.

No wonder this tamagoyaki was crowned Scotland’s Street Food Champion 2025 🏆

Even my Japanese friend approved. 😋

Some dishes don’t need to be complicated.

So proud of you, Hongkonger😊

They just need to do the simple things exceptionally well.
George Michael taught me the importance of being t George Michael taught me the importance of being true to yourself and listening to your own heart.

Growing up in Hong Kong, while many children around me were listening to Cantopop, an eight-year-old girl was already humming Careless Whisper. I would spend my pocket money on cassette tapes and read the lyric sheets over and over again, looking up words in the dictionary. My dream was simple: one day, I wanted to meet him.

Decades later, that little girl is now living in the UK. Life has taken me further than I could ever have imagined, yet sadly I never got the chance to meet him.

Perhaps that is George Michael’s greatest legacy for me. His music crossed cultures, languages and generations, and accompanied me through different chapters of my life. He showed me that following your own path is not always the easiest choice, but it is the most honest one. #georgemichael #lastchristmas #tonightthemusicseemssoloud

On my way home, I spotted Malay Laksa and simply c On my way home, I spotted Malay Laksa and simply couldn’t resist bringing a bowl home 😍

The lovely owners packed everything separately — broth and toppings apart, while the tofu puffs were left soaking in the soup to absorb all that delicious flavour.

Takeaway dishes can sometimes lose a little magic, but so much thought has gone into the details here that it still scored top marks at home.

Even my notoriously picky husband couldn’t stop praising the pork belly and the rich, comforting broth 😍

And for those who don’t eat meat, there are vegetarian options too 🌱

@malay_laksa Edinburgh’s laksa champion, without a doubt. Thank you for bringing such wonderful food to our city 💕
