Chee cheong fun sweet sauce recipe

Ready made chee cheong fun or rice rolls can easily be found at any Asian supermarkets in Melbourne. It's so convenient that one just need to steam or heat up the rolls before serving. Besides that, most of them are quite good with nice texture and the right thickness. Some of them even come with filling inside the rolls. However, these chee cheong fun don't come with any sauce. Hence, it's up to you to create your own sauce. 

There are various types of chee cheong fun and sauces available in Malaysia. Basically, there are the Hong Kong style light soya sauce chee cheong fun, the Penang style shrimp paste chee cheong fun and the general sweet sauce chee cheong fun that one could find in KL. 

I couldn't get the right sauce for my chee cheong fun until someone kindly shared this lovely sweet sauce recipe on a forum. It tastes just like those in KL! Ever since then, I could always enjoy a perfect plate of sweet sauce chee cheong fun at home. 

By the way, I like to top my chee cheong fun with some yong tau foo (stuffed vegetables/tofu) and various fishballs. Don't be surprised that yong tau foo can be found in Melbourne too. I often get the frozen yong tau foo from Hometown Asian supermarket. Sometimes I think that we're spoilt living in Melbourne as Malaysian food and groceries are easily available.
