I think the best way to explain it is:
• peanuts -> peanut butter
• chick peas -> humus
• rice -> mochi
.
Except that it is made with a specific type of rice and it is much thicker, such that it can be formed into cakes and sheets. In sheet form, it can be used to wrap dumplings like wonton.
Some more analogs are rolled fondant icing and marzipan. They have similar properties in thickness and ability to be rolled into sheets.
