Egg rolls are a popular Asian appetizer made from a thin wheat flour wrapper filled with a mixture of ingredients, typically including cabbage, carrots, and meat such as pork or shrimp. The filled wrappers are rolled up and then deep-fried until they are crispy and golden brown. They are often served with dipping sauces like soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce. Originating from Chinese cuisine, egg rolls are commonly found in Chinese-American restaurants and are enjoyed for their crunchy texture and savory filling. They are similar to spring rolls, but egg rolls are usually thicker and fried, while spring rolls can be fresh or fried and often have a lighter wrapper.
