Instructions

  1. Step 1

    If using fresh rice sheets, gently unfold them. If using frozen, thaw under warm running water until pliable, about 2 minutes.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    While rolls steam, whisk soy sauce, broth, cornstarch, and sesame oil in a small bowl until cornstarch dissolves.

  5. Step 5

    Pour sauce into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly for 2–3 minutes until it thickens and turns glossy.

  6. Step 6

    Arrange steamed rolls on a plate, drizzle generously with warm sauce, and scatter scallions on top. Serve immediately.
