Fried popiah seaweed rolls

Fried popiah seaweed roll crackers

Also known as seaweed crackers or fried / oven baked seaweed crackers or popiah seaweed rolls...I don't even know what's the actual name for this CNY snack. I was googling to find what I had in mind but mostly came out those flat seaweed crackers. 

But it is definitely a steal to have this when I can just relax and munch it non-stop. Imagine the hard work to make this, all gone within a day??? And everytime the thought of having to munch this, I will need to go through all the processes??? LOL....but I definitely enjoying making this snack with my little kittygirl helping to spread out the egg white onto the popiah skin - cute.

In fact, this is my first time preparing this popiah seaweed roll crackers. Here's my first attempt:-

Ingredients:

1. Popiah skin            (I'm using 40pcs 8.5" popiah skin, any brand will do)
2. Seaweed sheets     (cut into 2 or 4 long strips, any brand will do)
3. Egg white              (to glue the popiah skin)
4. Oil                         (enough for deep frying)
5. Brush
6. 1 regular chopstick (to roll the popiah skin)
7. Scissor

Method:

1. Take a piece of popiah skin and lay it flat on the smooth surface on the table.
2. Brush a little egg white at the middle of the popiah skin. Can omit this step too. Tried that and it still works fine.
3. Then put the seaweed strip on top of the popiah skin.
4. Roll it with chopstick and brush more egg white at the bottom end of the popiah skin.
5. Cut the roll any shapes you want. But for my case I just cut it into small straight cut.
6. Next, sun it under the sun for few hours. If it's sunny hot day, then 3-4 hours would be great. I skip this step when I don't have time. It taste the same anyway.
7. Get ready the oil, medium fire. Fry it till it turns golden brown.
8. Once done, just shake off the excess oil and put few layers of towel paper to absorb more excess oil from the fried popiah seaweed rolls.
9. Let it cool down before storing in an airtight container.
