WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Filipino dish of lumpia Shanghai shows the influence of Chinese settlers on the Southeast Asian country’s cuisine.

Detailed explanation-2: -A traditional food popular in many regions of China, spring rolls (Chun Juan, ), aka egg rolls in American English, are one of the most sought after dishes in overseas Chinese restaurants.

Detailed explanation-3: -These rolls go by many names: Vietnamese spring rolls, summer rolls, fresh spring rolls, or salad rolls.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lumpiang Shanghai is Filipino-style spring rolls made of ground pork, chicken, or beef filling wrapped in thin crepes called lumpia wrappers. The meat-stuffed wrappers are rolled into thin cylindrical shapes, cut into bite-size lengths, and deep-fried to golden perfection.

Detailed explanation-5: -The original spring rolls were likely thin pancakes rolled around spring vegetables, but the dish morphed over time to become a thin disc of dough rolled around a filling made with vegetables and sometimes meat. This paper-thin wrapper crisps up as it bakes, but it’s not as dense or chewy as egg roll wrappers.
