I’ve been making my own spring rolls but the flavour hasn’t been right, I’ve been using a little soy and some five spice not oyster sauce or sesame oil. Thanks for the pro tips and I’ll keep working on my spring roll game.

New recipe - take a long thin egg roll - swipe one end of it with hot mustard. On the other side of the egg roll - attach a sesame dough ball with toothpick to each side. This is called Willie Wong's Schlong and it is popular in Chinatowns around the world. Yum um

I recently made some egg rolls and they turned out beautifully. Next time I will get some of those mushrooms you used and try those. I don't make them too often because I don't like to deep fry. I do save the oil in the same bottle I poured from after letting it cool and straining it. I keep it in the refrigerator so it doesn't get old smelling. But I'll only use it twice or three times. then I get rid of it. My next effort will be to make some Crab Rangoon.

For new people, here's a tip this "new to wok cooking" guy learned last night: Don't fill your wok completely with cabbage. Yes, it will wilt down and be smaller - but I added half a head of cabbage at one time and it steamed all the cabbage on the bottom of the wok and left me with stir fry soup!

Maybe they call them Egg rolls because some people use egg whites, not flour and water, to seal the egg roll wrapper. Thank you for this video!

No one in the UK calls them "egg rolls". They are either "spring rolls" or "chop-suey rolls".

It's sad that the next generation will no longer cook well or cook at all or speak Cantonese.

Every egg roll I or my family have ever brought in Manhattan in NYC had scrambled eggs in them along with whatever else you wanted . So you would order egg roll with shrimp or chicken beef etc ! If it doesn’t have eggs in it you shouldn’t call it AN EGG ROLL ! 👎👎👎😡😡😡

Wow daddy lau, you look younger and relaxed. Nice cooking here🎉 one thing though, always cut your springrolls to release steam fast. More crunchier and the crunch last. Fil chinese springroll lover here❤

From my side
Hi, cant wait to be testing this recipe ! If i was going to do more for freezing. What would be the best option to make sure they would be good when heating them ?
@louis-charlesblanchet5789Always wondered what egg rolls were when I heard Americans talking about them I thought that sound horrible. Literally just realised they are Spring Rolls lol. I like Spring Rolls 🤣
