Rice noddle roll (Cheong Fun)!!!

Rice Noddle Roll - Cheong Fun
Most of people must be familiar with Chinese Dim Sum ! Rice noddle roll, is one kind of dim sum which is originate from Canton, China. It's also called Steamed Vermicelli Rolls or cheong fun in Chinese.

It is a kind of rice-made food, and is the necessary snack in Tea Houses and Cantonese Restaurants. It is usually taken as the breakfast or night food.
 
How to make:

- The traditional way to make cheong fun is to put the rice slurry on cloth or flat pan and spread with the stuffing like ground beef, pork, shrimp, or fillet
- Then, steam it
- After it cooked, roll them into strips, put into the plate and pour some soy source!

 


Cheong fun and soy source is the most perfect match! It taste smooth, and fresh in your mouth! Cheong fun is a kind of very popular breakfast in China. It is very not expensive, it is very fast to make, it can make you full, and it taste good!

Actually, those Cheong fun plates we see here are all American style, it is fill with lots of stuffing in it, and in big size! but i think ,,,it's too much ,,

In my childhood memory, some breakfast stores always open near schools, they served lots of small breakfast for students, of course including Cheong fun.

Those stores are very simple and crude, and the way they made Cheong fun was not that very hygienic, 

however, in my memory, those simple and cheap Cheong fun tasted much better than those fancy and beautiful Cheong fun now, maybe because the older we grow up, the more food we can see and enjoy, but the less we cherish food.





Anyway,,,now ,there are different styles and ways of making Cheong fun,, it may not taste traditional, but they still good!!!
