Popiah (Hokkien: pȯh-piáⁿ) is a Fujian/Chaozhou-style fresh spring roll common in Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia. Popiah is often eaten in the Fujianprovince of China (usually in Xiamen) and its neighbouring Chaoshan on the Qingming Festival. It is sometimes referred to as runbing (潤餅) or baobing(薄饼) in Mandarin. In the Teochew (Chaozhou) dialect, popiah is pronounced as "Bo-BEE-a",[1] which means "thin wafer" (also in the Hokkien dialect).
Basically you can put anything in the popiah skin, which is made out of wheat flour, roll it up and call it a popiah.
The ones commonly seen over here are made out of soft-boiled turnip filling, beansprouts, lettuce leaves, slices of hard boiled egg, lined with a chilli-prawn paste-garlic-peanut mixture and rolled into a Bundle of Pollie's Joy! Some popiahs contain thinly sliced prawn too.. but with the prawn so thinly sliced, I can't feel it when I chew anyway so prawns are optional.
