Mix 3.5 cups rice flour with 5 cups warm water and 1 tablespoon oil in a bowl.

Put the batter in the fridge to rest for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.

Chop garlic and shallots, and add to a bowl for vegetables.

Dice yellow onion and add to the vegetable bowl.

Chop wood ear mushrooms and add to the vegetable bowl.

Squeeze out liquid from hikama and add to the vegetable bowl.

In another bowl, combine ground pork with green onions and the remaining garlic and shallots.

Cook the ground pork over high heat for about 10 minutes until dry, then add the vegetable mixture and stir.

Prepare garnishes: blanch bean sprouts, chop cucumber, and cut pickled veggies and mint as desired.

Heat a pan over medium-low heat, then reduce to low.

Lay parchment paper on the counter.

Stir the batter and ladle a spoonful into the hot pan, swirling to form a thin layer.

Cover the pan for about 20 seconds until the rice sheet starts to lift from the surface.

Transfer the rice sheet to the work surface and add a spoonful of filling in the center.

Fold the bottom edge over the filling once, then fold the top layer twice to seal.

Continue pouring and rolling the rice sheets until all batter is used.
