Egg Roll — 蛋卷
Cuisine: Chinese · Origin: United States Chinese-American
Egg rolls are a beloved Chinese-American appetizer consisting of a crispy, golden-fried wrapper filled with cabbage, pork, and other vegetables. The wrapper, which contains egg in its dough, sets them apart from traditional Asian spring rolls. Originating in early 20th-century America as Chinese immigrants adapted their cuisine for Western diners, egg rolls became a staple of Chinese-American takeout restaurants. They're typically served in pairs with sweet and sour sauce or mustard for dipping. The filling is usually a mixture of shredded cabbage, diced pork or shrimp, and sometimes bean sprouts or water chestnuts, seasoned with soy sauce and ginger. The rolls are hand-folded and deep-fried until the exterior becomes crispy and light brown. While often confused with spring rolls, egg rolls have a thicker, crispier wrapper and heartier filling. They remain a popular appetizer in American Chinese restaurants and a nostalgic favorite for many diners seeking classic takeout comfort food.
Standard serving: ~280 kcal (2 pieces (200g), estimate)
Despite their Chinese name, egg rolls are largely an American invention, developed by Chinese immigrants in the early 20th century to appeal to Western palates—the wrapper itself contains egg, which distinguishes them from traditional Asian spring rolls.

儘管名字聽起來像中式料理，蛋捲其實主要是美國人的發明，是20世紀初中國移民為了迎合西方人的口味而開發的——蛋捲的外皮本身含有蛋，這點讓它們有別於傳統的亞洲春捲。
