About Rice roll

Rice rolls are a traditional dish originating from East and Southeast Asian cuisines, often served as street food or within dim sum-style meals. Typically made using steamed rice flour sheets rolled with fillings like vegetables, proteins, or sauces, they offer a versatile, gluten-free base. Rice rolls are low in fat and contain moderate amounts of carbohydrates, primarily from the rice, which provides quick energy. They are typically low in fiber unless paired with fillings such as vegetables or legumes, and contain minimal protein unless enriched with additional ingredients. Their simplicity makes them a staple food in many Asian diets while offering adaptability to health-focused modifications.
