rice rolls

Grain-wrapped parcels

Rice rolls are cylindrical Asian dishes made with rice or rice-based wrappers.

The term most often refers to Cantonese cheung fun—steamed sheets of rice noodle rolled around fillings like shrimp, beef, or char siu, served with sweet soy sauce.

It can also mean Vietnamese fresh rolls wrapped in translucent rice paper: We ordered shrimp rice rolls and pork rice rolls for dim sum.
