Chaozhou Spring Rolls

Chaozhou Spring Rolls

　　Chaozhou spring rolls are a delicacy among Chaozhou snacks. They are rectangular in shape, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich and fragrant taste. To make Chaozhou spring rolls, first a thin wrapper is made from flour. Mung beans are ground, shelled, and steamed, then mixed evenly with chopped scallion whites, fish sauce, and monosodium glutamate. Dried shrimp are sliced, mushrooms are shredded, and pork is cut into thin strips. Then, one and a half wrappers are used to wrap the mung bean filling, with pork strips, dried shrimp slices, and mushroom shreds added in layers, rolled into a rectangular shape, and deep-fried to completion. Among Chaozhou spring rolls, those from Hu Rongquan are the most renowned.
