Cooking steps
  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk rice flour, tapioca starch, salt, and water together until completely smooth with no lumps. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, season the chopped shrimp with white pepper and set aside. Prepare a wide steamer and brush a thin layer of neutral oil on a flat tray or heatproof plate.

  3. 3

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the oiled tray to make a very thin layer. Cover and steam over high heat for 2-3 minutes until just set and translucent.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle an even layer of chopped shrimp and green onions over the steamed sheet, cover, and steam for another 1 minute until shrimp turns pink and opaque.

  5. 5

    Using an oiled spatula, carefully roll the rice noodle sheet into a cylinder while hot, transferring to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling.

  6. 6

    Combine soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil in a small saucepan and heat just until warm. Drizzle the sauce over the finished rolls before serving.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The core ingredient is rice flour, which creates the classic silky, translucent texture of rice noodle rolls. Combined with tapioca starch and filled with fresh shrimp, these elements define the signature look and flavor of this high protein dim sum breakfast.
Q. How do I prevent rice noodle rolls from sticking or breaking when rolling?
To prevent sticking or tearing, always brush a thin layer of neutral oil on your steaming tray, and use an oiled spatula to gently lift and roll the sheet while it's still hot and pliable. Letting the batter rest and steaming each sheet briefly also helps achieve the delicate, elastic texture that rolls easily.
Q. What’s the secret for perfect texture in rice noodle rolls?
The batter's ratio of rice flour to tapioca starch, plus steaming at high heat for just 2–3 minutes per sheet, creates the essential silky, slightly chewy texture. Overcooking can make them rubbery, while undercooking can cause them to fall apart—so precise timing is key.
Q. How nutritious is this breakfast? What's the protein-to-carb ratio?
Each serving contains 15g of protein and 34g of carbs, with protein making up about 23% and carbs 52% of the total calories. At just 260 kcal per serving, it’s a balanced, high protein breakfast suitable for family and dim sum fans.
