Zhaliang or cha leung (simplified Chinese: 炸两; traditional Chinese: 炸兩; Jyutping: zaa3 loeng2; Cantonese Yale: jaléung), literally "fried two,"[1] is a Cantonese dim sum. It is made by tightly wrapping rice noodle roll around youtiao (fried dough).[2] It can be found in Chinese restaurants in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau and Malaysia.

It is often served doused in soy sauce, hoisin sauce or sesame paste and sprinkled with sesame seeds. It is usually eaten with soy milk or congee.
