Spring Rolls

China

Spring rolls take their name from their traditional association with the Spring Festival, when fresh seasonal vegetables were wrapped to mark the change of season.

Crisp, golden rolls filled with shredded vegetables and sometimes pork, deep-fried until shatteringly crunchy — a beloved Chinese appetiser and dim sum staple.
