Popiah

Popiah is a spring roll with a filling made up of a little bit of this and a little bit of that. The ‘little bits of this and that’ are mainly: finely grated well-cooked turnip, (sengkuang), blanched bean sprouts, French beans and grated carrots, lettuce leaves, thinly sliced fried tofu, crispy-fried shallots, and shredded omelette, topped with a crunchy crushed prawn cracker. 

Some may also include pork (lightly seasoned and stir-fried), and the better ones will have shrimp or crab meat. Popiah is eaten accompanied with a sweet sauce and optional chilli sauce, which is applied on bare crepe-like paper-thin skin. The act of making the Popiah skin from a lump of dough is an art form in itself.
