Popiah (CHINA)




Popiah is a traditional Chinese roll wrapped and stuffed with various ingredients. Often compared to the more famous spring rolls, the main difference is that popiah is never deep fried. The crepe-like wraps for Popiah are delicate and light yet easily folded to keep all the ingredients together.

Fillings are extremely versatile, but usually have four basic ingredients: main fillings, garnishes, seasonings and sauces. While main fillings vary from meat and seafood to vegetables, thinly sliced ​​condiments most commonly include cucumber, Chinese sausages or eggs.

Popiah is usually put together according to preference, but often a thin layer of spicy or sweet sauce is placed on the wrapper, followed by a salad leaf that helps hold all the ingredients together. When packaged and before being served, popiah is cut into bite-sized pieces.

Despite originating in the Chinese province of Fujian, popiah and its varieties are also popular in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
