Bánh cuốn is a dish from northern Vietnam. It is a crêpe-like roll made from a thin, wide sheet of rice noodle (similar to Shahe fen) that can be filled with ground pork and other ingredients. Sides for this dish usually consist of chả lụa and bean sprouts, while the sauce is mam. It is a light dish, and is generally eaten for breakfast. Although it is generally only found in northern Vietnam, it may occasionally also be found in Ho Chi Minh City. Perhaps the most famous bánh cuốn, called Bánh cuốn Thanh Trì, may be found in Thanh Trì, a southern district of Hanoi. See the article [1].

A very similar Chinese dish is the Cantonese dish coeng4 fan2 (肠粉; pinyin: chángfÄ›n), usually translated into English as “steamed rice roll” or “rice noodle roll,” which is a form of dim sum.
