About Chee cheong fun

Chee Cheong Fun, a traditional Cantonese dish, is a steamed rice noodle roll often filled with ingredients like shrimp, pork, or vegetables and served with soy sauce-based gravy, chili, or sweet sauce. Originating from Southern China, it is popular in Chinese dim sum cuisine and other Southeast Asian regions such as Malaysia and Singapore. The main ingredient, rice flour, provides carbohydrates as a primary energy source. When prepared simply and paired with lean proteins or vegetables, it can be part of a balanced meal. A standard serving (100g) offers about 150 calories, with minimal fat and moderate protein depending on the fillings. It is naturally low in fiber unless combined with vegetables.
