Spring Rolls — 春卷
Cuisine: Chinese · Origin: China
Spring rolls are a beloved Chinese appetizer consisting of a thin, crispy rice paper wrapper filled with a savory mixture of vegetables, vermicelli noodles, and sometimes meat or shrimp. Originating from Eastern China, particularly Shanghai, these cylindrical parcels are typically pan-fried until golden and served with dipping sauces like sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce. The filling varies by region and season, traditionally incorporating fresh spring vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and bamboo shoots. Unlike their Vietnamese counterparts, Chinese spring rolls have a distinctly crispy exterior and are often served hot. They're a staple in Chinese restaurants worldwide and at dim sum establishments, representing a perfect balance of texture—the crunch of the wrapper contrasting with the tender, flavorful filling inside. Spring rolls remain a popular choice for both casual meals and festive occasions.
Standard serving: ~250 kcal (3 rolls (150g), estimate)
