Oven baked popiah seaweed rolls

Oven baked popiah seaweed rolls

The day after I have decided to make the popiah seaweed rolls, I couldn't help myself but to try the different ways of making this simple snack. The problem with the fried snacks is that it is very oily and with the hot weather nowadays, especially during CNY, it is going to worsen the body even more - sore throat is the worst I can think of. 

With this in mind, it has prompted me to try the oven baked method instead. First, it's healthy, not too heaty. And secondly, which is the main objective, is that everyone can enjoy having this snack without worrying that it will cause sore throat. What a great excuse isn't it? lol....

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. Brush
5. 1 regular chopstick (to roll the popiah skin)
6. 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, pre heat the oven at 120 degree celcius.
7. Once heated up, put the tray filled up with popiah seaweed rolls into the oven. Make sure there's enough space so that the rolls can be baked evenly.
8. Baked for about 15-20 mins and give it a shake and continue to bake for another 10 mins.
9. Once done, let it cool down before storing in an airtight container.

There you go, a healthy snack for CNY!
