Instructions
Prepare the Filling
- Blanch the corn, spinach, and bok choy in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside.
- Combine the blanched vegetables with the celery, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently.
Make the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the jaggery, lemon juice, red chili, coriander, garlic, sugar, salt, and water until the jaggery is completely dissolved.
Assemble the Popiah
- Soak each rice paper wrapper in warm water for about 15-20 seconds, or until softened. Lay flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon a portion of the vegetable filling onto the center of each wrapper.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper inwards, then tightly roll from the bottom up, like a burrito.
Steam and Serve
- Steam the rolled popiah for 2 minutes, or until heated through.
- Serve immediately with the prepared dressing.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Popiah
- For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil to the filling.
- If you don't have jaggery, you can substitute with brown sugar or maple syrup in the dressing.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling, such as shredded carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
- For a vegan option, ensure your rice paper wrappers are vegan-friendly and omit any non-vegan ingredients from the filling and dressing.
