Egg Rolls, a popular snack and street food, are found in various varieties in most Asian cultures. As are their lighter cousin, the spring roll.
Are you curious about its origins? Foodtimeline.org reports that egg rolls “date back to ancient China.” Their popularity in the United States is likely due to early Chinese settlers making these tasty treats as early as the mid-1800s.
In case you were wondering about the difference between egg rolls and spring rolls? It’s all in the wrapper. Egg rolls are made using a dough-like “egg” wrapper and spring rolls are made using a rice paper wrapper. Often the fillings of both are a meat and vegetable mix while noodles are added to spring rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Freeze cooled egg rolls in a freezer container, separating layers with waxed paper. To use, reheat rolls on a baking sheet in a preheated 350° oven until crisp and heated through.
If you’re after something a little easier, serve these egg rolls with sweet chili sauce for dipping.

This is soooo good I only tried the sauce. I really enjoyed Thanks.
You’re welcome! I LOVE that one too!
Any chance you think we can make these without the meat??? They look amazing!
Hi Malary! That’s a great idea. I’ve not tried these without meat but I don’t know why it wouldn’t work! You might try adding some glass noodles or cellophane noodles instead of the meat. I’m going to play around with the recipe and hopefully post a meat free version soon!
I have made this numerous times, so good! Thanks! I just wish the wrappers were in the grocery around my area. Guess I need to learn how to make them:) Got a recipe for them anybody?
Hi Sharon! Thanks so much for that news!! I’ve haven’t made my own wrappers because they’re readily available in my markets. But I’m intrigued and am going to try it. Here is a recipe that looks and sounds fairly simple with good reviews: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/egg-roll-wrappers-570a516d728a51e602cf3105
