Ingredients

• 8 pieces Seaweed sheets
• 150 grams Rice noodles
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 8 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 100 grams Bean sprouts
• 200 grams Cooked chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 50 grams Crushed peanuts
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and drain well.

Step 2

Peel and julienne the carrot into thin strips. Similarly, julienne the cucumber and set aside.

Step 3

Shred the cooked chicken breast into thin strips if not already shredded.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning sauce.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, rice noodles, carrot, cucumber, bean sprouts, and crushed peanuts. Add the seasoning sauce, and toss everything together until well mixed.

Step 6

Separate the lettuce leaves and ensure they are clean and dry.

Step 7

To assemble the popiah, lay a piece of seaweed on a clean flat surface, with the rough side facing up.

Step 8

Place one lettuce leaf on top of the seaweed, followed by a portion of the mixed filling. Lay a mint leaf on top for added freshness.

Step 9

Carefully roll the seaweed around the filling like a burrito, tucking in the sides to hold the fillings in place.

Step 10

Repeat for the remaining seaweed sheets and filling.

Step 11

Cut each roll into bite-sized pieces, and serve immediately while fresh.
