egg rolls
Crispy stuffed appetizers
Egg rolls are crispy, deep-fried appetizers consisting of a wheat flour wrapper rolled around a filling of shredded vegetables—typically cabbage and carrots—often with pork or shrimp.
A staple of American Chinese restaurant menus, they're served with sweet-and-sour sauce or hot mustard: We ordered egg rolls and wontons to start.
