Spring Roll Recipe

Everyone loves spring rolls. It’s a delicious Chinese appetizers filled with shredded vegetables and deep-fried to crispy goodness. There are many recipes and almost every country in Asia has its own version of this iconic appetizer. In the Philippines, they are called lumpia and come in smaller packages. Vietnamese spring rolls are called Cha Gio. They are made with rice paper and filled with ground pork and cellophane noodles. There are also fresh spring rolls with no deep-frying involved, for example: Popiah in Malaysia and Summer Rolls.

Spring Roll Wrappers

There are two types of wrappers in the market: thin wrapper and thick wrapper. The thin wrappers are made of wheat flour, water, oil and salt. They are packaged and frozen. This wrapper produces crispy results after deep frying. The thick wrappers are pale yellow in color. They are specifically made for egg rolls, which are thicker rolls popular in Chinese-American restaurants. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients.
