Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca starch, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, whisking until smooth. Beat in the eggs until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly oil it with a brush.

Step 4

Pour a thin layer of the batter onto the pan, swirling to spread evenly. Cook for 2 minutes until the edges start lifting. Flip and cook another minute. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 5

For the filling, heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and fry until fragrant.

Step 6

Add shredded cabbage, carrot, and bean sprouts, and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 7

Add chopped shrimp to the vegetable mix and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Cook for another minute, mixing all ingredients well.

Step 9

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 10

To assemble, lay a gluten-free wrapper on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of chilli sauce on the wrapper.

Step 11

Spoon some filling onto the wrapper, leaving space at the edges. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions.

Step 12

Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to secure the popiah.

Step 13

Repeat the rolling process for the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 14

Serve immediately or store covered in a cool place until ready to serve.
