About
Spring rolls are a traditional snack in various Asian cuisines, most popular in Chinese cuisine. They are usually filled with vegetables and sometimes meat, all wrapped up in a thin, crisp pastry shell before being deep-fried until golden. Often served as an appetizer or side dish, they are deliciously crispy and delightful to taste. They are particularly synonymous with the Spring Festival in mainland China, hence the name. Making them at home allows you to customize the fillings as you like.
