Rice paper rolls

　　Rice milk is ground and spread thinly on a tray to form a delicate pancake. A sprinkle of minced meat and scallions is added before steaming. Once cooked, it is rolled up and served with sauces, sesame oil, and other seasonings.

　　The dish is known for its soft, smooth, and refreshing texture. (Nanning)

　　After the reform and opening-up, a group of overseas Chinese returned to China from Vietnam and primarily settled in Guangxi. They each brought back the customs and culinary traditions from their time abroad, with some introducing the Vietnamese method of making rice paper rolls. They set up shops or street stalls in their new communities, gradually expanding their businesses. Vietnamese rice paper rolls gained significant popularity in Guangxi and were well received by locals. Over time, a uniquely Guangxi-style version of the rice paper roll developed.
