These rice paper shrimp rolls are a fun twist on the traditional classic dim sum Cheung Fun (Chinese rice noodle rolls) using rice papers! What a fun hack I learned from the internet. Now I can have dim sum at home in less than 20 minutes!

Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces rice paper
  • 12 pieces shrimp cleaned and deveined

Method
 

Prepare the Rice Rolls:
  1. Wet each piece of rice paper for about 10 seconds until it becomes pliable.

  3. Fold once, tuck in the sides, and continue rolling until it forms a spring roll shape.
  4. Repeat this process for all six rice rolls.

  6. Prevent Sticking: 
  7. Brush a plate with avocado oil to prevent sticking. Place the rice rolls on the plate and lightly brush oil around them as well.
  8. Steam the Rolls: 
  9. Using a steamer that fits the plate, steam the rice rolls for about 7 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and is fully cooked.
  10.  
  11. Prepare the Sauces: 
  12. While the rolls are steaming, mix together the ingredients for the sweet soy sauce and peanut butter sauce.
  13. Adjust the consistency of the peanut butter sauce by adding a little water, ensuring it’s runny enough to drizzle.
  14.  
Serve:
  1. Once the rice rolls are ready, serve them with the sweet soy sauce and peanut butter sauce on the side.
  2. Garnish with chili crisp for an extra kick.

Notes

  • Do not soak the rice paper too long. 5 seconds is plenty.
