I have some rice paper that really needs to be used. This looks like a fabulous use for it!
Rice paper? Here, we use bean curd skin. We call it ngor hiang. Maybe one of these days, I can try using rice paper. Did hear something about using it for making fried popiah…or what you call lumpia.
Bean curd skin we use it a nearly similar dish called Kikiam
are you still nz based? if so, where did you buy singkamas and ubod? thanks.

Singkamas sometimes you will find them on Asian shops, for the ubod also in Asian shops but in cans.
