豬腸粉’ (zhu cheong fen) is made using a mixture of water and glutinous rice flour. The mixture is spread thinly onto a pan and steamed. After steaming, it is rolled together and cut into bite-sized pieces. Zhu cheong fen requires lots of skill and craftsmanship to make sure the sheet of rice noodle isn’t too thick or thin to create the perfect texture. Generous amounts of soy sauce, peanut sauce and hoisin sauce (a sweet, thick, rich sauce) are drizzled on top to captivate hungry customers that pass by.
This dish is called Rice Noodle Rolls or ‘豬腸粉’ (zhu cheong fen) in Cantonese and can be mistaken for ‘腸粉’ (cheong fen), as they both use the same thin sheet of rice noodle. However, cheong fun has a stuffing inside of it (eg. shrimp) whilst zhu cheong fun does not. Originating from Guangdong and Hong Kong, zhu cheong fun dominates the Hong Kong street food market making it a must eat.
