How To Make Popiah/Spring Roll Wrappers/Skin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- This is a recipe for homemade Popiah Skin aka the thin wrapper skin for Chinese Spring rolls. Popiah is a word derived from the Hokkien dialect. A good popiah wrapper/skin must be thin and elastic. They should be strong enough to wrap the vegetable fillings without breaking apart. Fresh Popiah or spring rolls are popular in Malaysia and Singapore.

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 :)
The best ever video of how to do these. Thank you. And I appreciate it without any annoying music. Well done!
Thanks for the compliments :-)
Super duper YES.
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.
That's fantastic! I'm so happy for you! Thanks for the positive feedback and support :-)
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!
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!
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
Never have i ever seen spring rolls made like this 🙃 much appreciated... i learned something new
Glad you learned something new :-)

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.
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. :)
Thanks for your kind and thoughtful comment :-)
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. 👌
Well said!
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?
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 :-)
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 : )
Ang galing! No annoying sounds , direct , simple and concise.. Now time to do the wrap👍 Thank you 😊
Thank you! 😊 and Good luck!
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
Hey, I watched my grandmother doing the thing same too...:-)
Will take years for perfection but a very good process thanks for letting us watch another master chef
My pleasure 😊
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!
Glad it was helpful! :-)
Thank you for this very straightforward instructional. I appreciate the fact that you didn't engage in fancy background music or other distractions.
Glad it was helpful!
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!
Thanks for the comment..give it a go...just need practice ;-)
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
When i was child i always saw my grandpa make them 🥰🥰 i love spring rolls forever
Oh that's wonderful, I've seen this technique being done by streetside vendors on youtube and thought it looked a bit tough to handle, but you explained it and showed it so well, I feel like giving this technique a shot. Thank you so much :D
Thanks! I was taught to make these in culinary school but my teacher spoke no English, so I never knew the word Popiah. Was a fascinating part of my experience.
Alan Vranian You're most welcome.
Yan nga Yung na kikita ko sa palengke di tulad NG Ibang video na pahirap kailangan pang I roller pin
Ga ra yan nga po yon pero ang hirap gawin nagtatry ako ngayon mas mabilis yung ginagamitan ng roller pin pra sakin :)
yup palengke ganyan
The Best video of spring rolls skin ever
Thanks.
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.
Flavours Of As
Thanks for the freezing tip so I can pull it out whenever I'm hungry for popiah. Yay!

Easy recipe but a lot of work and the pan's temperature fuhhh is the most crucial part! It won’t stick unless u minimise the temp. Agreed with a work of art and patience
Very interesting. Ill just buy wrappers. Thanks for posting this.
lol....why?
God bless your talented hands.I seen one lady who makes thinner batter and uses a brush to form a flat thin sheet in the pan. Cones out fantastic but with tight holes in it. 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. 😅
@Giselle Spartacus Sorry, I'm afraid this recipe works only with all-purpose flour.

Can i use salt other than sea salt
+BJ Mahmood Where does salt came from Mon Ami.

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 !!
rebeccafoo Thanks for the comment, feedback and suggestions. Give it a go, and good luck!
Lovely. Would like to ty it.
Is it possible to make in advance and freeze it?
And do I need to defrost it before cooking?
I wanna kno
Looks amazing!!!! Exactly like how they did in the market!!! Bravo 👏
Thanks so much! 😊
這才是正統的潤餅皮做法！👏
Thank you so much for this video! Buying spring roll wrappers here in Japan is too expensive!!! 10 wrappers costs around 250¥ - 2.26 USD - 117 Philippine Peso. So I cut it in half to have 20 wraps ;( ... Now I can make moooore at home, lol.... :)
That's insane!! Yes, with some practice you make loads at home :-) Good luck!
first attempt made a mess...only made 4 skins and they were too thick....second attempt, 18 skins, pretty decent...it's an art.
it definely requires some techniques, but so does everything in the kitchen...even braking an egg

Good for you!

@Mona Anand: This recipe use plain wheat flour or all-purpose flour, no leavening needed.

Thank you

First time I saw how to make this pophia wrap is in Singapore, it's was interesting, tq for shared this recipe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My pleasure 😊
how long did it take you to perfect this. I am totally intimidated! It took me forever (years) just to attempt basic yeast bread. You are a master at this!
Thanks for the compliments. It took me several trials but I've always watched my grandmother making them from scratch....still have room for improvement though :-)

JD Breuer Makes about 36 (6 ½ to 7 ½ inches) wrappers
do u have to grease the stainless steel pans if u don't have a non stick pan
?
+Frank Kkett it appears to work by sticking. if you grease it won't stick.

This is the perfect how to make spring rolls skin.
sin duda el mejor video que he visto. para hacer masa de rollitos primavera. muchas gracias pero me asalta una duda:como haces para que no se peguen entre si?
Approximately how many wrappers can you make from a 500 g flour?
Wonderful to see you show us,thank you
My pleasure 😊
That's the real enchilada, man.
Nice video. Ito talaga yung paggawa na hinahanap ko. Yung katulad ng paggawa sa palengke. Thank you for sharing this vid 😊
Simple recipe but alot of work.nice video👍
Thanks.
That time i w0rk as d0mestic helper in sp0re...s0 that i have chance to eat many delici0us sp0re f0od...p0piah...laksa...mie siam...r0jak...its very unique and such great taste...
can i get exactly the same texture when mixing 500g flour and 450ml water?
+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 :)
I think so. Just perfect how she mashed the dough bec this really matters❤
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I've seen a video of a street food vendor making something similar in the same process but never knew what kind of batter it was!
My pleasure :-)
Ohhhh super, thank you..🌼🌷❤️
You're most welcome.
Thanks for sharing the recipe in English. Excellent.
You're most welcome.
awesome work! need a lot of patient to do this. ;-)
Thanks. Yup, I agree with you, lots of patience and practice.
+Flavours Of Asi
That's awesome!! It's not uncommon to see this technique at open markets in China. It's almost like magic tricks. I will give it a try as well.
This is how it’s done. It’s just really hard 😫
هناك طريقة أخرى أسهل بكثير، موجودة على اليوتوب
I have always want to try to make it...you make it look so easy...I should try soon...will definitely let you know how it turns out
+linda ang You just need lots of practice and patience to make this kinda of wrappers..:-) Good luck, and I hope it turn out well for you. Thanks for the comment.
This is strictly for the experts.
You just need a bit of practice :-)
You've got fine tender hands! Amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well, thanks for the compliments :-)
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.
Im not grossed out. Im just fearful of all the hard work.
LOL! I gotta admit that it's interesting to watch.. I just HATE working dough with my bare hands... it's just so uncomfortable and sticky...I know that in most cases it's necessary but I usually use either a spoon or a fork to mix my dough and only use my hands for kneading...
BUT... I learned something new today.. I gotta add this to my recipe playlist and try it out!
I don't know why but it seemed very sexual for me
Craft Dazzler Dude... ew!
LOL
Ei Flo LOL!
Another legitimate concern! 😂😂😂😂
that is so cool to watch. definitely gonna make it home made now
Thanks.
a little background music would be great
haha xP
You doing it like a pro... Pretty clear, I dont even have anything to ask
Aa Dodi Thanks for your kind comment.
You are an EXPERT! I dare not try. Watching was enough... hehe
Looks so interesting this recipe. Do we have to make it fresh always or you could suggest on how I could prepare earlier.
I just discovered your prescriptions, and are beautiful, super provocative, delicious! I love this kind of food! Thanks for sharing recipes! be sure to keep delighting with them! greetings from Venezuela, a kiss

All-Purpose Flour. Thanks.
WOW that is impressive. I would not guess it makes so many. I think I will try. Great video.
Thanks for the compliments :-)
hi! i want to make those wraps but i have two questions, the first : will whole wheat flour work? the second, if im not using oil isn't the butter going to stick onto the pan? it's non stick, but i'm not sure that it's going to work for me, because it's not a very good non stick pan! thank you for the idea, and the recipe!
Wow it is not really that difficult..I must try this since I love make spring rolls .thank you for sharing..
You're most welcome & Thanks for the comment :-)
Hey I am going to try that one looks lovely
Great! Good luck & let me know how they turn out :-)

+Joyce Castelino I hear you...Good luck! :-)

Hi, it's really great video you shared. I made this myself and turned out good for a beginner. Matter of fact it's sooo great. I don't have a heavy pan like yours but still works out well. It also true that the key is the right heat. Thanks for sharing...
Afifah Zabarij Thanks for the comment and compliments. I'm very happy, you got it the first time, Bravo!! I guess you have a natural talent in cooking, great job!
The thing is, need more practice to make it look as thin as yours. Hehehe... Again, thanks for sharing.

,Q
Looks perfect...how many wrappers can you make with the quantity of flour that you used here?
Thanks. This recipe yield about 36 (6 ½ to 7 ½ inches) wrappers.
great vid and awesome skill i've wanted to learn how to make it long ago till i came across ur channel btw when you finished mixing the batter do you rest it for like 30 min or longer before its ready? thks for sharing.
Gimio Chin Yes, let the batter rest for about 20 to 30 minutes. Thanks for the comment.
rest! that's a very important point.
Your the best,now I need a bigger pan ☺️
That’s how we do it in Algeria 🇩🇿 we do it with semoulina too to make bourek , samsa , mhàncha and more. Thanks for sharing

Hi thanks so much for sharing Popiah Skin! I've watched many videos telling not to use non stick pan. But your video looks like non stick pan. So non stick pan can actually be used without any problem. Right?
