Cantonese Rice Rolls · Downtown Berkeley
Rice rolls, pulled by hand.
The way Guangzhou has made them for sixty years.
Rice ground fresh into batter, spread paper-thin on cloth, steamed to order, and folded around shrimp, beef, or char siu, finished with a soy sauce recipe the family has kept since the original stall.

How it's made
Rice, ground to paste.
Cloth, pulled by hand.
Chang fen started as a Guangzhou street-stall dish, cooked to order over boiling water. We still make it that way: nothing pre-rolled, nothing frozen. Every order is steamed fresh in the window, which is why the wrap comes out warm, glassy, and thin enough to see the filling through it.
Grind the rice
Rice is ground into a fine batter each morning, with no pre-made mix and no shortcuts.
Steam thin
Batter is spread across cloth and steamed until it turns translucent, in under a minute.
Fold and sauce
The sheet is folded around the filling and finished with a proprietary soy sauce blend.
