Directions

Step 1

Grate the carrots and thinly slice the cabbage into strips.

Step 2

Drain and pat dry the firm tofu, then crumble it into small pieces.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the crumbled tofu to the pan and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until slightly golden.

Step 5

Add the grated carrots, sliced cabbage, and bean sprouts to the pan. Continue to stir-fry for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sugar, then mix well. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until everything is well combined.

Step 7

Remove the vegetable and tofu mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Lay a popiah wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a lettuce leaf on top of the wrapper.

Step 9

Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the vegetable and tofu filling onto the lettuce leaf, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle a small amount of chopped peanuts over the filling.

Step 11

Add a small drizzle of sesame oil and chili sauce on top of the filling for extra flavor.

Step 12

Fold the sides of the popiah wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling completely.

Step 13

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 14

Serve the popiah rolls immediately with extra chili sauce on the side for dipping.
