How To Make Popiah/Spring Roll Wrappers/Skin

[@jamie68560]

I was a very young girl in the early 90s, and used to follow my mum to some pasar in Singapore to buy fresh popiah skin. I can't for the life of me remember where exactly she bought it from, but it was some special place quite far from Yishun where we stayed -- it was some famous fresh popiah skin maker, and there would be either an auntie or uncle who would just sit there and just keep cooking these wrappers with that ball of flour in their hand. I remember being so fascinated by it, and especially how delicious they smelled cooked fresh. I could just eat plain popiah skin all day long lol. I loved these very soft and delicious wrappers as we would eat popiah during CNY and Hari Raya, and any holiday, basically. But after some time, my mum stopped buying the fresh ones and we started to eat the fried ones using the ready-made square wrappers from the supermarket. I'm glad to have found this recipe and instructions from you, truly -- my partner prefers these fresh skins so now I know how to make it for him. Hopefully it's as good as the ones I remembered eating all those decades ago! Happy Chinese New Year :)

[@abi2270]

The best ever video of how to do these. Thank you. And I appreciate it without any annoying music. Well done!

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Thanks for the compliments :-)

[@eswaribalan164]

Super duper YES.

[@redriding2776]

I am so excited that I just need to share. I made half portion of the popiah wrappers today. After a few disasters, I got the hang of spreading the batter onto the nonstick pan and I managed to make about 12 pieces. Just observe how Flavours of Asia does it. I watched her video twice before I even dare to attempt. Very happy.

[@Seasaltwithfood]

That's fantastic! I'm so happy for you! Thanks for the positive feedback and support :-)

[@contactjoy4140]

This method of mixing the water and flour and the resultant gooey dough is exactly the way my Filipina sister-in-law taught me to make Philippine LUMPIA WRAPPERS! Even stretching the dough, grasping a ball of it and swirling it against the bottom of the skillet is EXACTLY the way I was taught! The filling can be vegetables, meat or a combination and then the LUMPIA is fried golden in a shallow amount of oil. Perfect recipe and method. THANK-YOU very much. I learned this method in 1964, when I was 16 yrs old. Watching this video and hearing the dough slap the bowl brought back many fond memories!

[@nicomedesmordido8058]

In your experience mam,how to make the dough more elastic?should i add small amount of sodium or any medicine that would make the dough perfectly elastic?thank you very much!

[@luciabeznec2397]

Hello.My name is Lucia. I am from Argentina. Could you tell me, in the recipe you use, the ingredients it contains and in what proportions? I'm going to thank you very much because it means having a job opportunity, because this country is devastated. If you wish, I can pass my email to you. I thank you in advance and I wish you the best !!!! note: sorry for my english ha ha ha

[@peacefulmind1559]

This is what I had been looking for! To show us the ingredients, the technique of mixing, and then cooking it. This is a superb presentation. Amazing! Thank you for sharing your wonderful technique to all of us viewers. :)

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Thanks for your kind and thoughtful comment :-)

[@Miliex_YT]

This is how the real lumpia wrapper is made. Glad to see this on YT. I always see real time making of this in our marketplace that's why I know. 👌

This BY NO STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION is the best video and technique used to make spring rolls. Simple straight forward and THIN the way they should be. Most instructions out here in cyber-whacko land are teaching to make EGG rolls using a roller, there too thick, this is what I have been looking for for the past 5 weeks . THANX FOR KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPRING AND EGG ROLLS. Ignoramous me should have used the term Popiah instead and I would have landed here weeks ago.

[@sully671]

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to create this video. Simple ingredients, then a LOT of continuous labor and love into the batter to create "just the right" dough. I especially appreciate the "hand look/feel" hints as you went along so that I can visualize what the right texture "feels" like, and I also learned that I should expect that a good dough requires some serious working time (30 minutes and then some). What are your favorite filling combinations?

[@Seasaltwithfood]

sully Thanks for the comments and I'm glad you appreciate the video. You just made my day!! Here is the link for the filling : www.seasaltwithfood.com/2010/06/popiah-fresh-spring-rolls. Thanks again :-)

[@sully671]

Flavours Of Asia Forget the fillings... the knowledge of the batter, and being able to both press it on the pan while simultaneously taking it all off at the same time in order to ultimately create a perfect whisper of a vessel full of potential is a thing of beauty. My first attempt did not "pan out" so good, and while I do think I created some fake pasta along the way, I did have some crisp edges that give me hope for the future : )

[@koeniginmelb]

Ang galing! No annoying sounds , direct , simple and concise.. Now time to do the wrap👍 Thank you 😊

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Thank you! 😊 and Good luck!

[@dzjaafar]

When I was little and that was 50 years ago !!!, I saw my mum sitting in front of a charcoal stove making these popiah skin exactly the way shown in this video. But I never knew the ingredients or the amount required to make it so elastic and spongy. Thank you so much for sharing it. Ill sure give it a try

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Hey, I watched my grandmother doing the thing same too...:-)

[@afshaniqbal7538]

Will take years for perfection but a very good process thanks for letting us watch another master chef

[@Seasaltwithfood]

[@kdawgmcknight]

Oh wow. Mesmerizing process. The dough was NOT what I expected and then I'm like, "why would you put a big wad of dough-snot in your hand like that?" Then my mind was blown. I must try this and thank you so much for sharing!

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Thanks for the comment..give it a go...just need practice ;-)

[@brhtuseasonone3628]

of course u wouldnt want to burn ur hand if u dump the dough in ur pan........ so u have to get a lump so ur hands wont touch d pan

[@jamesoren7238]

Thank you so much for this! My wife is Malaysian and has been really sad that the only spring roll wrappers we can get here don’t make good Po Pian, used this recipe to surprise her... seems I have a job for life lol. I didn’t have to make any alterations, but it did take me 4 attempts to get hang of it!

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Glad it was helpful! :-)

[@Seasaltwithfood]

sininv1 I gather you meant after you make the wrapper. You can freeze them in a plastic bag, defrost/thawed in the fridge. If the wrapper is dry, then steam it for few minutes.

[@rebeccafoo]

Thank you for sharing, it is really hard and I never dare to try but after seeing your video, I may try it. The price is increasing in Penang and very hard to get too. For thos who like to use it to make Deep Fried Spring Roll, never put too much filling, I was greedy and ended up my Fried Popiah became soft after 15 mins. Later found out that those sold in market, the roll had very little filling. I tried and a great success , no more soggy Fried Popiah !!

I wonder if it’s okay to wrap vegetables in them? She didn’t seem to mind them as her recipe is handed down by her mother meaning it’s been a guaranteed recipe for two generations. 😅

can i get exactly the same texture when mixing 500g flour and 450ml water?

[@altarec123]

+Riichi Himura No, never, you don't live where this person live, your flour will not be the same, the humidity will not be the same. You always need to ajust when you are cooking with flour, maybe more water, maybe less water, you need to feel it. And when you're not sure if it's too wet then it will probably be just fine, better more water than less water :)

Anybody else getting grossed out by all of the "hand mixing"?! LOL I hate mixing dough with my hands, but I'll do it if it's absolutely necessary....it's such an uncomfortable,. sticky feeling. I usually use a spoon or a fork. The recipe comes out perfect, so that's all I care about.
