🇮🇩🇻🇳 | Lumpia and Goi Cuon: Southeast Asian Dishes That Look Absolutely Delicious 😊
Here's a delicious alternative:

Popiah.png

Popiah is a Teochew-style fresh spring roll, a popular dish in Fujianese and Hoklo regions of China, and Southeast Asia. It's characterized by its thin, paper-like wrapper and a filling of fresh, cooked, and sometimes dried ingredients.

Wrapper:
The popiah wrapper is made from a thin batter cooked on a griddle, creating a slightly translucent, crepe-like skin. It's often described as having a slight spring or elasticity.
  • Filling:
    The filling is a mix of fresh ingredients like shredded vegetables (jicama, carrots, cucumber), cooked ingredients (prawns, eggs, Chinese sausage), and sometimes bean sprouts or peanuts.
  • Presentation:
    Popiah is typically rolled up like a spring roll and served fresh, often with a variety of sauces or toppings.
  • Variations:
    While the basic ingredients remain consistent, variations exist depending on the region and individual preferences, with some adding fried onions, sesame seeds, or different sauces.
Common Ingredients:
  • Fresh vegetables: Jicama, carrots, radish, cucumber, bean sprouts, lettuce
  • Cooked ingredients: Prawns, boiled eggs, Chinese sausage (lapcheong), fried or hard-boiled eggs
  • Condiments: Peanuts (ground or whole), shallots (fried), spring onions, sesame seeds, and various sauces (sweet, spicy, soy-based)
