Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the bamboo shoots, jicama, and carrot, and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and fry the diced tofu until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Return the vegetables to the pan, add the cooked shrimp, hoisin sauce, and ground white pepper. Stir well to combine.
Cook the mixture for an additional 3 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
To assemble the popiah, place one popiah wrapper on a flat surface.
Place a lettuce leaf in the center of the wrapper, add approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture, a few bean sprouts, and fresh coriander leaves on top.
To wrap, fold in the sides of the wrapper towards the center then roll up from the bottom, ensuring the filling is tightly packed.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Serve immediately as a fresh and healthy appetizer or snack.
