Home Made Popiah/ Asian wraprolls

This is not really a recipe, as I would call it more of a "main masak-masak". You can basically use any sort of fillings to your own liking. As long as you have the Popiah Sheets (available at your nearest asian grocer, frozen section). Popiah is a popular snack that comes in all shapes and sizes (similar to spring rolls). But I like the home made version, where everything is fresh and it is so much fun making each roll as you eat, artsy. I remember I used to frequent Aunty Sherrys home made popiahs...delish...

I love to have mine with the following:
Popiah sheets
salad leaves
fried beansprouts
fried long beans, chopped
omelet with pickled radish, strips
shrimps
hoisin sauce
chilli sauce

Instructions:

1. lightly fry beansprouts with chopped garlic and soy sauce. Set aside
2. lightly fry green beans with a pinch of salt. set aside
   
3. fry omelet with pickled radish. slice thin long strips. set aside
4. stirfry shrimps with garlic and tamarind sauce, salt to taste. set aside
5. wash salad leaves cleanly and drain.
   
6. To prepare popiah: lay a sheet of popiah skin onto a plate, spread hoisin sauce and some chilli sauce thinly across sheet. first place salad leaves, then followed by the other ingredients, amount to your liking. The trick is to not overfill your popiah otherwise you will find it tricky when you wrap. Use your imagination when proceeding with the wrapping. I normally fold lengthwise first, followed by the two sides, then closing in with the final side. (it should look like the shape of regular springrolls). Voila!

* the popiah filling is really up to your own liking. You may opt for fried tofu cubes, cucumber, turnip, carrots, etc.
