How it's used

This dish is a staple of dim sum culture, consisting of steamed rice noodle rolls wrapped around sweet, savory barbecued pork. It is almost always served with a side of sweet soy sauce, which you pour over the rolls before eating. Unlike other dim sum items that might be shared, it is common for people to order their own portion of rice noodle rolls if they are particularly hungry.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 腸粉, which is the generic term for plain rice noodle rolls. Always specify the filling, such as 叉燒腸 or 牛肉腸, to avoid getting a plain version without meat.
