Gutian Spring Rolls

Gutian Spring Rolls

　　Spring rolls are a traditional festive food of the Han Chinese people. Popular across the country, they are especially favored by the people of Gutian during holidays and celebrations, also known as "1饼" or "卷煎."

　　 They are made by wrapping a filling in a round, thin, pan-fried dough wrapper into a long roll, ready to eat, or can be deep-fried until golden and floating. The fillings can be either meat-based or vegetarian, salty or sweet. People in Gutian typically use pork filling, Chinese chives, bean sprouts, dried bamboo shoots, and other ingredients. Making spring rolls generally involves four steps: making the wrappers, preparing the filling, wrapping, and frying.
