Prepare a steamer and ensure that the water is boiling before you start steaming.
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.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the batter and mix until smooth. Set the batter aside to rest.
Peel and devein 150 grams of shrimp, then cut each shrimp into halves. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Slice 2 sprigs of spring onion thinly and set aside.
Grease a flat stainless steel plate or tray that fits your steamer with a little oil to prevent sticking.
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.
Place 6-7 pieces of shrimp evenly onto the batter along with a sprinkle of sliced spring onions.
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.
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.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter and shrimp until all are used.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 100 ml of water. Heat the mixture on a low flame until warm.
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.
