Editing Popiah

'''Popiah''' is a type of [[spring roll]] commonly found in [[Malaysia]], [[Singapore]], [[Medan]], and [[Taiwan]]. It is a popular [[street food]] and is also frequently served in restaurants and at festive occasions. 

== Origin ==
The word "popiah" is derived from the [[Hokkien]] term "poh-piah" which means "thin wafer". The dish is believed to have originated from [[Fujian]] province in [[China]], and was brought to Southeast Asia by Chinese immigrants.

== Preparation ==
Popiah is made by filling a thin, soft [[pancake]] with a variety of ingredients. The pancake is typically made from wheat flour and is similar to a [[crepe]]. The filling usually consists of finely grated and steamed [[jicama]] (also known as yam bean or turnip), which is mixed with cooked [[carrot]], [[bean sprouts]], and lettuce leaves. Other common ingredients include [[tofu]], [[prawns]], and [[Chinese sausage]]. The roll is then garnished with sweet [[soy sauce]], crushed peanuts, and fried shallots.

== Variations ==
There are many regional variations of popiah. In Malaysia and Singapore, it is often served fresh, while in Taiwan, it is typically served deep-fried. In Medan, a version known as "lumpia" is popular, which is similar to the fresh version but includes additional ingredients such as bamboo shoots and eggs.

== Cultural Significance ==
Popiah is often made at home during family gatherings, where each person can customize their own roll with their preferred ingredients. It is also a common dish during the [[Chinese New Year]] and other festive occasions.
