The egg roll began as a Chinese-American tradition that extended to Vietnamese immigrants who were searching for the American Dream. These traditions developed from the unfailing dedication of families in chop suey palaces to hungry employees. Restaurants around the country developed their own variations of the egg roll using a variety of finely chopped ingredients, including pork, shrimp, cabbage, onions, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and seasonings. And it was all wrapped up in a thin pastry wrap and deep-fried.
Egg roll is a hearty snack or an exciting part of a meal at home or away. But, it's also played a vital role in bringing dreams to many generations of immigrants in the United States. And it continues to be in many ways..
Our egg roll is as close as our freezer, telephone, restaurant, or even our own recipe. The egg roll is versatile, too. Our egg roll obsession continues to expand to include strict diets, exotic flavors, and so much more. What more could we want for a commemoration than a feast?
