A culinary delight that originated from the Celebration of Spring
It is commonly believed that Spring Rolls originated from China's "Spring Dish" more than a millennial ago. Traditionally, a variety of fragrant Spring vegetables were prepared, rolled in a thin wrapper, and served as “Spring Rolls” as a symbol and blessing for good health, and this practice eventually evolved into the modern Spring Rolls we consume today. In pursuit of more refined flavors and textures, the wrappers, filling ingredients, and recipes became more diverse and sophisticated over time. Today, Spring Rolls are simple, very popular, and are enjoyed at venues from humble street food to elegant banquets. There are early records of fried Spring Rolls dating more than 700 years ago during the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, they were filled with nuts, dried fruits, minced meat, and a syrup. The sensation of that complex, hot, crispy, and deliciousness in a bite were recorded in detail record. Since then, Spring Rolls have grown to include unique flavors reflecting various regional tastes and cuisines. Additionally, a non-fried type of traditional Roll is called "Ruenbing," prepared using various fillings ranging from mashed beans to vegetables and meats. These ingredients are then placed in a thin flour wrapper, and rolled to make the popular and iconic Chinese Dim Sum roll.
Rolls that wrap exciting flavors from around the world
The simplicity and versatility of Spring Rolls have made them a culinary delight around the World. Many cultures have also infused their local tastes, ingredients, and flair into this delicious food. In Vietnam, local Spring Rolls are known as "Goi Cuon;" they are made with rice paper instead of flour wrappers. These world-famous Spring Rolls can be filled with lettuce and meat, enjoyed cold, and they can be deep-fried for a crispy texture, known as "Cha Gio." In the Philippines, the slender Spring Rolls are known as Lumpia (or Lumpia Shanghai) and they are a national staple made with a flour wrapper and then deep-fried to create a crispy texture. “Loempia” is another type of Spring Roll that Indonesian immigrants introduced to Europe. These deep-fried rolls have become a common appetizer and snack in the Netherlands. In the United States, Egg Rolls are usually made with a thick flour-based wrapper and deep-fried creating a crispy outer layer with a chewy inside filling. As these Egg Roll fillings are more substantial, they can be served as an appetizer or just as easily a quick and satisfying meal.
