Siwawa
A Siwawa (Chinese: 丝娃娃; pinyin: sī wá wá, also known as "Guiyang Spring rolls"[1][2] or "silk doll") is a Chinese dish, native to and a local specialty of the Guizhou province, consisting of a paper thin glutinous rice pancake that is small enough to fit easily in one's palm, and is wrapped around fillings of julienned fresh, fermented, or stir-fried vegetables such as shredded cucumber, pickled turnip, fried soybeans, crushed chilis, shredded kelp, shredded potato, pickled radish, mung bean sprouts, zhe ergen, pickled fiddleheads, and jueba bracken fern roots.[3][4][5][6][7] Some vendors include fried pork (Cuishao/
Spicy and sour-flavoured sauces, known as zhanshui, are commonly incorporated into wraps or used as dipping sauces. One popular sauce recipe includes a combination of ingredients such as stock, dried chili flakes, and sesame oil.[3][6]
The name of the dish, "baby in swaddling clothes," is derived from its appearance, where strips of ingredients are wrapped in a rice pancake, resembling a wrapped infant.[5][3][4][6] It also resembles an uncooked egg roll and is sometime considered "a member of the spring roll family".[5][7]
