Instructions

Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together rice flour, tapioca starch, kosher salt, and water until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray or brush with neutral oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the batter layer: Pour a ladleful of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
Add fillings: If using any fillings like shrimp or vegetables, sprinkle them evenly over the semi-cooked batter at this stage.
Flip the roll: Carefully flip the Cheung Fun using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown.
Remove and repeat: Gently slide the cooked roll onto a plate, then repeat the process with the remaining batter and fillings.
Garnish and serve: Optionally, drizzle the rolls with soy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flavor before serving.

Notes

Ensure the batter is smooth and lump-free for the best silky texture.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
Fillings can be customized based on preference: try mushrooms, diced pork, or tofu for variety.
Cooking the fillings beforehand ensures they are fully cooked and safe to eat when added to the batter.
The rolls are best served fresh and warm to enjoy their soft texture.
