Finely chop the garlic and shallots.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into thin strips.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the chopped garlic and shallots to the pan and sauté until fragrant.
Add the diced tofu to the pan and stir fry for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
Add the sliced chicken, carrots, cabbage, and bean sprouts to the pan.
Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and ground white pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Transfer the filling mixture to a large bowl to cool.
Lay a piece of popiah skin on a clean surface. Place a lettuce leaf on top.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled filling onto the lettuce.
Fold the bottom edge of the skin over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
Repeat the process with the remaining popiah skins and filling.
