Cheong Fun a.k.a. Rice Noodle Roll are a classic at Dim Sum, but they're also a hyper common breakfast street food in Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Whether at Dim Sum or on the street, the rice noodle rolls are steamed with these massive steaming machines something we'll need to work around making it at home.

Also, what we're making today is the version that uses purely rice no crazy mix of starches and powders necessary. The rice's gotta be aged rice, so we did some experimenting and could that aged Basmati works absolutely wonderfully.

A big thank you to two YouTubers for those Cheung Fun street food clips. First off, we used TravelThirsty's Guangzhou Cheung Fun clip in the introduction. Great look at how Cheung Fun's made in Guangzhou:

Second, during the bit on equipment, we used a bit of this video from the YouTuber PlacesAndThings. They're Malaysiabased and that particular footage's from Kajang. Great shot of the machine used. Check it out here:
