Rice noodle rolls are a very popular Hainan breakfast item. Filled with bits of meat or vegetables, the rolls are then eaten with soy sauce or hot sauce. The rice noodle rolls are known as changfen or sausage rolls, because they resemble long thin sausages. These breakfast noodles are often sold in street stalls and carts, or at local breakfast spots like laobacha or Old Dad's Tea shops early in the morning, but can be difficult to find after afternoon. The rice noodle wrapper is thin and soft, and the fillings are savory. Although the flavors of this dish are light and delicate, while the noodles are surprisingly filling.
