"A recent visit to Singapore, I got this cool recipe. This popular snack is within the scope of any home cook. Now we have spring roll wrappers, 'skins' or 'shells' as they are called, available frozen from Chinese grocery stores, approximately 20 in each packet. Thaw before attempting to separate these delicate pastry squares."
