Step 1
If using fresh rice sheets, gently unfold them. If using frozen, thaw under warm running water until pliable, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Fill each rice sheet with 2–3 shrimp and a few slices of char siu. Roll tightly into a cylinder and set seam-side down on a plate.
Step 3
Bring water to a boil in a wok or large steamer pot. Place filled rolls on a parchment-lined bamboo steamer or metal trivet. Steam for 6–7 minutes until shrimp are pink.
Step 4
While rolls steam, whisk soy sauce, broth, cornstarch, and sesame oil in a small bowl until cornstarch dissolves.
Step 5
Pour sauce into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly for 2–3 minutes until it thickens and turns glossy.
Step 6
Arrange steamed rolls on a plate, drizzle generously with warm sauce, and scatter scallions on top. Serve immediately.
