Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh popiah wrappers
- 6 sheets Dried seaweed sheets
- 2 large Carrot
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Jicama
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 medium Shallots
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Chili sauce
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Peel and shred the carrots, cucumber, and jicama into thin julienne strips and set aside.
Finely chop the garlic and shallots.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots, sauté until they turn golden and become aromatic.
Add the jicama to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until it starts to soften. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
On a clean work surface, lay out a popiah wrapper. Place a dried seaweed sheet on the wrapper.
Arrange a small handful of shredded carrots, cucumber, and the sautéed jicama mixture onto the seaweed, adding a squeeze of lime juice for a zesty touch.
Roll the wrapper tightly by folding the sides inward and rolling from bottom to top to enclose the filling.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Once all popiah rolls are assembled, slice each roll diagonally into two or three pieces for serving.
Serve with chili sauce for dipping or drizzling over the rolls.
