My Ugly Looking Popiah in year 2014
Popiah (pȯh-piá) is a Fujianese/Chaoshan-style fresh spring roll common in South East Asia.
A popiah "skin" (薄餅皮) is a soft, thin paper-like crepe or pancake made from wheat flour.
Main Ingredients:
Popiah skin
shredded omelette
filling of finely grated and steamed or stir-fried turnip
thinly sliced fried tofu
shredded cucumber
Can eaten with a sweet sauce (often a bean sauce), a blended soy sauce or hoisin sauce or a shrimp paste sauce and optionally with hot chili sauce before it is filled. The filling is mainly finely grated and steamed or stir-fried turnip (known locally as mengkuang)
Additional ingredients suggestion:
bean sprouts, french beans, lettuce leaves, grated carrots, Chinese sausage slices, chopped peanuts or peanut powder, fried shallots,
The method of producing the wrapper involves making an extremely wet and viscous dough.
My wrapper is not wet enough.
It looks dry...
Not easy to make a finely wrap popiah. It require skill, a lot of practice and hard work in order to produce a perfect looking popiah.
Looks like I still have long long way in mastering the wrapping part.
That's all for today.
Cheers!
