Yes, the vomit in my mouth that spilled out into an eggroll wrapper when I read your post!

What a great thread :cool:

I love Egg Rolls and yes, a little shoyu & hot mustard is great to dip in...

Spring Rolls (Fresh or Fried) are great as well...

There's a Thai place in ANC that makes "Angel Wings"... they debone a chicken wing and stuff it with rice vermicelli noodles, pork, and some other things...

Its stuffed inside the wing and then fried- mmm... a wonton/eggroll/springroll hybrid

Now that we know the difference between spring rolls and egg rolls, what defines / differentiates a Summer Roll?

Ah, this isn't what I thought! I was expecting to find mouthwatering accounts of morning rolls with poached egg...

Mmm...

Dear god, yes! That is the reason I eat spring rolls - the hot mustard! :)

Why did I start to read this thread? It is morning here and I REALLY want a spring roll with extra mustard!

I grew up there, and still dream about the egg rolls they serve. Giant, filled with pork and vegetables, fried perfectly, and I am pretty sure made with a bit of peanut butter for flavor/texture.

God, I'm hungry now.
:cool: We have a local place near where I work called New Star in Elmwood Park, IL, that has the best egg rolls I have ever tasted.
Same as the ones you describe from Port China. Big, moist, meaty and a touch of peanut butter flavor.

And I try Chinese restaurants in every city that I visit. I'll need to travel North to Fox Point soon too! :D

Oh, yes! But it has to be the pale yellow kind that sets your nostrils on fire if you’re not careful.

The same throughout China. I've never seen in China what is commonly referred to as an "egg roll" in U.S. western-style Chinese restaurants, i.e., that thick cylinder of deep fried, bubbly dough surrounding an amorphous mass of unidentifiable meat and vegetables. I have, however, enjoyed true Chinese-style spring rolls with the same insanely hot mustard that many of the western-style U.S. Chinese restaurants serve. Mmmmm -- I love that mustard!

The Chinese kind are called, I believe, "dan to" and are my favorites. The best ones are small and bite-sized and served hot from whatever they are cooked in. Yummy!
