An egg roll is a popular Chinese appetizer made from a thin wheat flour wrapper filled with a mixture of ingredients. Common fillings include shredded vegetables, such as cabbage and carrots, and sometimes meat like pork or shrimp. The filled wrappers are rolled up and then deep-fried until they are crispy and golden brown. Egg rolls are often served with dipping sauces, such as soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce. They are a staple in many Chinese restaurants and are also enjoyed at home, especially during celebrations like the Lunar New Year. Their crunchy texture and savory filling make them a favorite snack or appetizer.
