Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the crumbled tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Add the shredded jicama, shredded carrot, and chopped cooked shrimp to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Season the vegetable mixture with soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the ingredients evenly and continue to cook until the jicama and carrots are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the bean sprouts to the pan, stir to mix, and cook for another 3 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
To assemble each popiah, lay a piece of popiah skin on a clean, flat surface.
Place a leaf of lettuce on the skin, followed by a spoonful of the cooked filling, some julienned cucumber, and a drizzle of sweet chili sauce.
Fold the sides of the popiah skin over the filling, then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
Repeat the assembly process with the remaining popiah skins and filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nut-free popiah as a delightful snack or meal.
