Popiah
Singapore · Southeast Asia
- Short description
- This fresh roll is soft, saucy, crunchy, and built around a thin crepe-like skin instead of a fried shell.
- Ingredients
- Wheat crepe wrapper, jicama, bean sprouts, lettuce, carrot, fried tofu, egg, peanuts, fried shallots, sweet bean sauce, chile sauce, and optional shrimp or pork.
- Cultural note
- It is associated with hawker stalls and home gatherings where fillings are prepared separately and rolled to order.
- Common misconception
- It is not always deep-fried; the fresh version is defined by a pliable wrapper and moist vegetable filling.
