Egg rolls
Egg rolls
Egg rolls (/ɛɡ roʊlz/) are a variety of deep-fried appetizers served in American Chinese cuisine. They are a ubiquitous feature of American Chinese takeout restaurants.
Etymology
The term "egg roll" is commonly believed to have been derived from the Chinese word "dan juan" (蛋卷), which literally translates to "egg roll". However, traditional Chinese egg rolls are quite different from the version popularized in Western countries.
Description
Egg rolls are typically made by wrapping a mixture of chopped vegetables (like cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts) and often meat (such as pork or shrimp) in a wheat flour skin, which is then deep-fried. The skin gets its name from the egg that is included in the dough.
Variations
There are many variations of egg rolls, including spring rolls, summer rolls, and lumpia, each with their own unique ingredients and preparation methods.
