Ingredients

• 12 sheets Rice paper wrappers
• 2 cups Cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 1 cup Jicama
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
• 0.5 cup Fresh coriander leaves
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Chili sauce (soy-free)

Directions

Step 1

Shred the cabbage and carrot, and peel and finely slice the jicama. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground chicken to the skillet, using a spatula to break up the meat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and no longer pink. Season with salt and white pepper.

Step 4

Add the shredded cabbage, carrot, jicama slices, and bean sprouts to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Add the lime juice and toss everything to combine, cooking for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 6

Prepare the rice paper wrappers by filling a shallow pan with warm water. Dip each rice paper sheet in the water for about 5 seconds until just pliable, then lay it on a clean surface.

Step 7

Place a couple of tablespoons of the cooked filling in the center of a rice paper wrapper. Top with fresh coriander leaves and chopped green onions.

Step 8

Fold in the sides and tightly roll the wrapper around the filling to form a neat roll. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 9

Serve the popiah rolls with the soy-free chili sauce for dipping, and enjoy!
