	'''Popiah''' (Simplified Chinese: 薄饼 / 润饼; Traditional Chinese: 薄餅 / 潤餅; Pinyin: ''Báobǐng'' / ''Rùnbǐng''; Hokkien: ''~~pȯh~~-piáⁿ'') is a fresh spring-roll style wrap: a thin crepe~~-like skin~~ filled with stewed ~~vegetables,~~ tofu, egg, and sometimes ~~meat~~ or ~~seafood~~.

It is listed on the street table of [[Fujian Food]] and is a household and hawker classic among Hokkien and Teochew communities in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan (潤餅), and beyond.<ref name="wp">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popiah English Wikipedia: Popiah]</ref><ref name="roots">[https://www.roots.gov.sg/ich-landing/ich/popiah Singapore Roots: Popiah (ICH)]</ref>

	Usually unfried (~~fresh popiah~~); filling is savory ~~and lightly~~ sweet from stewed ~~jicama~~ or ~~similar~~. ~~Distinct from~~ deep-fried [[Spring Roll]] shells in ~~many banquet contexts~~.		Usually unfried (“fresh popiah”); the skin is pliable and nearly translucent, while the filling tastes savory-sweet from long-stewed root vegetables. Soft table service often means diners assemble their own rolls with lettuce, crushed peanuts, fried shallots, and a smear of sweet bean or hoisin-style sauce. Soft contrast with deep-fried banquet [[Spring Roll]] shells and with thicker Taiwanese runbing crepes. Soft quality cues prize skins that do not tear when rolled and filling that is moist without soaking the wrapper. Soft fried variants (popiah goreng) exist as cousin forms in some Malaysian and Singapore stalls.
