Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 The Vietnamese restaurants in my area call the uncooked rolls " garden " rolls. Lori <I just wanted to mention that if they're fried, they're not " officially " spring rolls. They'd normally be called egg rolls, but obviously that's not quite right in this instance. Spring rolls are cold, with raw ingredients and wrapper.> Really? So what are those things that get served at Chinese Restaurants and are called by them " spring rolls " ? They also fry them or stir-fry them, and the ingredients inside are cooked. Wouldn't an egg roll have to be made with an egg-based wrap? These were made with the rice-based wrap, which in the front said " spring roll wrap " and in the back had 3 different recipes for spring rolls, and they were all fried at the end. Is this just a big " westernalization " ? (our calling them " spring rolls " ) where did you learn the difference? Sorry for all the question, you really made me curious. Hugs, " My darling girl, when are you going to understand that being normal isn't necessarily a virtue. It rather denotes a lack of courage!
