Encyclopedia
Spring rolls is an umbrella term used in some Western cultures
to describe disparate varieties of filled, rolled appetizers similar to the Chinese chūn juǎn (春卷, lit. "spring roll"), from which the term was derived. East and Southeast Asian cuisine foods referred to by the term have different names depending on their country of origin, as well as the type of wrapper, fillings, and cooking techniques used.
They are commonly eaten in certain Asian countries, most notably China
, Taiwan
, Hong Kong
, Vietnam
, Malaysia, Singapore
, Indonesia
and Philippines

or deep fried.
Non-fried spring rolls are typically bigger and more savory. In contrast, non-fried spring rolls typically fill the wrapping with pre-cooked ingredients. The most commonly eaten style of non-fried Taiwanese spring rolls is called rùn bǐng (润饼) in Mandarin (or po̍h-piáⁿ (薄餅) in Taiwanese, see popiah
). Traditionally, non-fried spring rolls are a festive food eaten during the Cold Food Day festival
and the Tomb Sweeping Day festival
in spring to remember and pay respect to ancestors. The Hakka
population sometimes also eat spring rolls on the 3rd day of the 3rd month of the lunar calendar
(三月三 sān yuè sān). The wrappings can be a flour

powder before being wrapped. The northern-Taiwanese style spring roll is usually lightly topped with or accompanied by a soy sauce
.
In southern Taiwan, the ingredients are generally boiled or blanched in plain water. Sometimes caster or superfine sugar
is added along with the peanut powder before all the ingredients are wrapped.
Fresh type,"Guay-tiew lui suan"(ก๋วยเตี๋ยวลุยสวน). Guay-tiew lui suan contained various of fresh vegetables and juicy cooked meat wrapped with steamed (long-uncutting) noodle sheet(pen pang แผ่นแป้ง) then, topped with sweet sour and spicy taste greenny dreesing.

In some restaurants, gỏi cuốn, a Vietnamese salad roll, is referred to as a "spring roll
"; others use the term "summer roll
". Ingredients include slivers of boiled pork, shrimp, rarely chicken or tofu, fresh herbs, lettuce, sometimes fresh garlic chives, rice vermicelli, all wrapped in moistened rice paper
, served at room temperature with fermented soybean sauce (tương xào) or hoisin sauce. The salad roll is easily distinguished from a "minced pork roll" by the fact that it is not fried, the ingredients used are different. Spring roll refer to the freshness of the spring season with all the fresh ingredients, therefore frying takes away that feeling.
The fried version with minced pork is called chả giò (southern Vietnam), nem, or Nem rán (northern Vietnam); it has been mistakenly referred to as an egg roll or spring roll on some restaurant menus. Central Vietnam has its own version of a "fried roll" called "Ram." "Ram" is always made from whole shell-on shrimp or chopped deshelved shrimps and some green onion, wrapped in rice paper and deep fried. "Ram", like most food items from central Vietnam, are not widely available in Vietnamese restaurant overseas. The collective Vietnamese "egg rolls" are different from the Chinese egg roll in that it is typically smaller and contains ground or chopped protein such as pork, crab, shrimp (but rarely) chicken, taro, glass noodle, wood-ear mushrooms and shredded carrots. It would be more correctly referred to as a "Vietnamese fried Roll". It is sometimes called eggrolls even though no eggs are used in the making. Rice papers are always used as the wrappers in Vietnam. Vietnamese restaurants in western countries tend to use the Chinese eggroll wrappers due to the inavailability of rice papers initially. However, some restaurants have slowly reverted back to using rice papers now that they are widely available.
To create a dipping sauce nước mắm pha (nước chấm) renowned in central Vietnam, add fish sauce, lime, garlic, sugar, small red and green peppers and water. Mince the garlic and peppers. Add the sugar into a bowl of hot water to help dissolve it quickly. Add fish sauce, lime, and the minced garlic and peppers into the sugar water.
