1

Soak 1 cup of rice flour and 1 cup of cooked tapioca starch in 4 cups of water overnight at room temperature.

2

Mix the soaked flour and water mixture until well combined.

3

Add 2 tablespoons of oil and a pinch of salt to the batter and mix well.

4

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil on high and add chopped onion, sauté until caramelized.

5

Add 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 tablespoons of garlic to the skillet, sauté until fragrant.

6

Add pork to the skillet and season with oyster sauce, chicken bouillon, fish sauce, sweet soy sauce, and black pepper. Stir well.

7

Cover the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, then uncover and let the juices evaporate while stirring occasionally until it becomes saucy.

8

Taste the pork mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more fish sauce or sugar as desired.

9

In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil on high and add 2 tablespoons of garlic, sauté until light brown.

10

Add shrimp to the skillet and season with oyster sauce and sweet soy sauce, sauté until cooked through and the water evaporates.

11

Remove shrimp from the skillet and let the sauce reduce until saucy, then mix back with the shrimp.

12

Prepare a non-stick skillet by oiling it lightly, then heat it on high.

13

Stir the batter before using, then pour a thin layer into the hot skillet, cover, and reduce heat to medium-high.

14

Steam for about 1 minute until edges start to release, then flip onto a plate.

15

Place filling (pork, shrimp, or both) on the steamed rice sheet and roll tightly like a burrito.

16

Repeat the process for remaining batter and fillings, adjusting oil as necessary to prevent sticking.

17

For a variation, add an egg yolk to the filling before rolling for a breakfast option.
