Popiah, Teochew for ???thin pancake???, is a thin paper-like crepe or white pancake wrapper stuffed with a filling made of cooked vegetables and sometimes meat. When deep fried, the crispy roll is known as spring roll, but if left raw is known as Popiah. Popiah is very popular in Malaysia and also many Asian countries. It is eaten as a snack or as an accompaniment to the main meal. It is of southeastern Chinese origins, from the Fujian province. It is derived from the spring roll eaten during spring when there was an abundance of vegetables.
