"An under-filled eggroll, is an evil eggroll" - wisdom. Also true for sandwiches and wraps.

Hello Chef John, uncurred meats do not add nitrates and nitrites. Many people are allergic to these chemicals. Plenty of salt is used. 😋 This looks delicious.

I`d like to add some fish sauce to this, just a little bit. Also i prefer to pre boli rice noodels, for just few of seconds, maybe i`d add some more ginger to kick some that asian flavour.

When my mother took Chinese cooking lessons from a woman from Hong Kong, she was taught that the difference between an "egg roll" and a "spring roll" is that the former was dipped in beaten egg before being fried, which is why egg rolls had bubbly surfaces and spring rolls didn't. Your non-dipped egg rolls, however, had the bubbly surface, which I found most impressive!

Chef John, one of the most important principles I learned from your videos was actually observing and controlling the moisture of what you're cooking, and how it affects everything else! That's what helped me finally understand how to fry rice properly. I love how you go into detail about observing the steaminess and explaining how the noodles absorb moisture from the vegetables. Thank you for another great video!

I've made egg/spring rolls many times but it never once occurred to me to cook the vermicelli dry instead of soaking it first. BRILLIANT!!

The real fun is when you hide your Easter egg rolls around the house for the kids to find.

Leaving the mix in the fridge for a couple of hours is a good idea. THX.

If more people made egg rolls at home the family would thrive.

Chef John, I trust you 100%, and maybe it's a regional thing, but the wrappers for an egg roll and a spring roll are distinctly different in my area.

The chinese place near my parents had AMAZING eggrolls and they make their ducksauce from scratch. My parents used to buy jugs of that to keep around. Boy do I miss it, never had better.

dry vermicelli is brilliant! I usually make a mess squeezing excess liquid out of the cabbage. You cut time and made a better egg roll while saving all of the flavor.

nothing better than fresh Egg Rolls than store pre-made Egg Rolls

My fishmonger makes egg rolls/lumpia with, you guessed it, seafood (cod, salmon, shrimp, mussels), noodles and vegetables including beansprouts. It is a very tasty combination, perhaps you can do something with the idea.

This might be the best thing I’ve ever taken from your always ‘the new best thing’ offering. I love spring rolls, as well as egg rolls. Haven’t watched the whole thing yet, I’m only hoping a deep fryer is not going to be the feared option.

Nice!

Egg rolls often also have bean sprouts in them for added crunch! Sometimes they replace the vermicelli noodles entirely and can be called Chop Suey Rolls in takeaways.

I believe the name egg roll comes from the wrappers, which originally contained eggs.

uncured ham is cured with celery powder that works just like curing salts (nitrate, nitrite) Celery Juice Powder contains naturally occurring nitrites and nitrates (which breakdown to nitrites with the help of bacteria native in meat itself). Celery Juice Powder (aka CJP) is now commonly being used for giving sausages and meats a cured appearance and taste without the use of synthetic sodium nitrite/nitrate.

When I was working as a marine engineer we used to call these VLCCs (very large crude carriers) which is a type of oil tanker. And if cookie came out with the big ones they were ULCCs (ultra-large crude carriers).

In 1967 the Nisie Woman's Society of Christian Service at the Community Methodist Church wrote a little cook book. Yes the recipes have been adapted using available ingredients. These are very good tho, almost like deep fried crepes stuffed with all the filling
