A rice noodle roll, also known as a steamed rice roll and 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, commonly served as either a snack, small meal or variety of dim sum.[1] 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, literally "pork intestine noodle", a reference to its resemblance of a pig's intestines.[2] There is no official recording of the history of rice noodle rolls; most cookbooks claim that it was first made in the 1930s.[citation needed] In Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, people called the dish laai cheung (lit.'pull intestines') because it is a noodle roll that pulled by hand.[3]
