A dish of Vietnamese origin

You probably think that the egg roll comes from Chinese cuisine... In reality, it's a Vietnamese recipe! At the very beginning, it was a plate full of vegetables and meats. It was called the Spring Plate. The nem paste arrived much later, to roll up these assortments, hence its other name: " Les rouleaux de Printemps " (Spring rolls).
The nem developed all over Asia and became the banner of Chinese cuisine. Made from pork and vegetables, it also comes in a variety of flavours, both sweet and savoury.
In China, the egg roll is a lucky dish as it welcomes the new year and keeps disasters away... In France, whatever their symbolism, you can eat egg rolls with wine for even more delicacies!
