Ingredients

• 120 grams rice flour
• 20 grams cornstarch
• 300 ml water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 150 grams shrimp
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 sprigs spring onion
• 100 ml water

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a steamer and ensure that the water is boiling before you start steaming.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 120 grams of rice flour and 20 grams of cornstarch. Gradually add 300 ml of water while stirring to ensure no lumps form.

Step 3

Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the batter and mix until smooth. Set the batter aside to rest.

Step 4

Peel and devein 150 grams of shrimp, then cut each shrimp into halves. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 5

Slice 2 sprigs of spring onion thinly and set aside.

Step 6

Grease a flat stainless steel plate or tray that fits your steamer with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Spoon a thin layer of the batter onto the greased tray. Ensure the batter is spread evenly to cover the entire surface in a thin layer.

Step 8

Place 6-7 pieces of shrimp evenly onto the batter along with a sprinkle of sliced spring onions.

Step 9

Carefully place the tray into the steamer and cover. Steam over high heat for about 4-5 minutes or until the rice noodle is set and translucent.

Step 10

Remove the tray from the steamer and let it cool for about 1 minute. Use a spatula to gently lift and roll the rice noodle sheet into a log.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining batter and shrimp until all are used.

Step 12

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 100 ml of water. Heat the mixture on a low flame until warm.

Step 13

Slice the rolled Chee Cheong Fun into bite-sized pieces, drizzle with the warm soy sauce mixture, and serve immediately with extra spring onions as garnish.
