Fix up mushroom skewers in Asian wrap? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
rice paper
'asian wrap?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'fix up mushroom skewers' is the wordplay.
'fix' becomes 'repair' (to fix something is to repair it).
'up' says the letters should be written backwards (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'mushroom' becomes 'cep' (name for Boletus edulis - an edible mushroom).
'skewers' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters cut or skewer into the word).
'repair' reversed gives 'riaper'.
'riaper' going around 'cep' is 'RICE-PAPER'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rice paper that I've seen before include "Thin edible base for baking" , "baking aid" , "thin basis for dish" , "Thin edible sheet used in cooking" , "Cook it and eat it, don't write on it" .)
