Are They Called Spring Rolls Or Egg Rolls?

Spring Rolls or Egg Rolls? Both seem to be used although it used to be for my family we called the Chinese fried rolls egg rolls and the Vietnamese fried rolls (rolled in rice paper) spring rolls when referring to them in English.

My mother was Vietnamese so we tended to have the Vietnamese ones more and referred to them in Vietnamese which is Chả giò. I’ve heard people refer to Vietnamese Salad Rolls (Gỏi cuốn) as Spring Rolls. Confusing I know, just fyi Gỏi cuốn literally translates to English as salad roll so that’s what we call them in English lol

Tips For Making This Chicken And Vegetables Spring Rolls Recipe

To help ensure your spring rolls are not greasy you need to ensure there are no air pockets when you’re rolling the wrapper. Follow these steps:

  • Fold over the corner where the filling is and roll tight
  • Fold over the other side and make sure there are no air pockets
  • Roll the rest, remember nice and tight to avoid air pockets.
  • You can finish by brushing some beaten egg on the seams. 
  • Place seam side down once finish rolling.

Cooking The Filling For Chicken Spring Roll Recipe

Sauté the ground chicken with just a bit of oil (vegetable or canola is fine). Once cooked remove chicken and set aside.

Wipe out the pan or wok and start to sauté the shredded carrots and cabbage, add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic powder and ginger powder for about two minutes and medium low. Put the ground chicken back in with the other ingredients and sprinkle on the cornstarch and mix. Sauté on low for a few more minutes until everything seems well mixed.

This helps to keep the meat and the veggies from being overcooked and soggy. While my photo above shows the uncooked spring rolls stacked, I did that for this quick photo only, if you’re storing them uncooked do not stack them. Keep them in single layers otherwise they will stick OR put saran wrap in between the layers to prevent them from sticking together.

Use Quality Ingredients

When buying your ingredients use quality items, this doesn’t mean it has to be organic, that’s not what we mean by quality. The carrots and cabbage should be fresh, use a good quality ground chicken, it makes all the difference.

That’s why my family and I only buy chicken with the Raised by a Canadian Farmer logo like the one above. 

Can You Freeze These Chicken Spring Rolls?

Yes you sure can. As I mentioned earlier just make sure the chicken and vegetable spring rolls are in a single layer or if you need to stack them then put plastic wrap in between the layers so they don’t stick together.  If you want fresh spring rolls then freeze them uncooked and just fry them when you’re ready.

Chicken Spring Roll Recipe

This chicken spring roll recipe is a great addition to any holiday celebration whether it's just you and your close family and friends or a larger gathering or just because you want something yummy. Everyone enjoys these spring rolls so you might want to make some extras.

Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 25 spring roll wrappers
  • 1.5 cups of shredded carrots
  • 1.5 cups of shredded Chinese cabbage
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • Egg to bind the wrappers
  • Green onions to garnish

Instructions

  1. Fully cook ground chicken in a pan with a bit of oil (1tsp), breaking it up into small pieces while cooking. Take out of the pan.
  2. Pour all ingredients minus the green onions into the large pan and mix. Fry on low for 2 minutes.
  3. If you are planning on frying up the spring rolls right away, you can wrap them now. If you are going to be freezing them, let your filling cool in the fridge before prepping.
  4. To roll the spring rolls place a small amount of filling on a corner of the wrapper. Roll tightly (see our tips in the post). Finish with brushing a bit of beat egg along the seams of the wrapper to bind the wrapper together.
  5. Fry in a deep fryer until golden brown. These cook up quickly if made fresh. I made mine fresh and they took about 5-6 minutes at 375 If you are making them from frozen you’ll want to check the internal temp to be sure it is above 170.
  6. Enjoy with sauce of your choice. We like dipping in the Vietnamese spring roll sauce Nước Chấm which you can find on our Lemongrass Chicken Noodle Bowl Recipe.

Notes

If you have leftover carrots and cabbage to use up you can make our Vietnamese Chicken Salad Recipe which you can see here:

See our post for tips on cooking the filling and rolling the spring rolls.

You can substitute the carrots and cabbage for veggies of your choice but nothing bulky as it makes it harder to roll.

You can add oyster sauce if you like, not too much.
