In Shang Hai, egg rolls are usually dipped with something called “spicy soy sauce”. Even though it says soy sauce on the package, it is actually a variant of Worcestershire sauce which was brought from England in the 19th century. As it gets more and more popular, the locals start producing their own. Because the color looks dark like soy sauce and it is slightly peppery, they name it 辣酱油，which means spicy soy sauce in Chinese. I couldn’t find it anywhere in the USA, that’s why I am using the Worcestershire sauce today. To be honest, they taste almost the same.
When I was a kid in Hong Kong, dim sum restaurants served Worcestershire sauce with spring rolls. Now my kids won’t eat egg rolls without Worcestershire sauce.
You are the best instructor I believe I’ve ever seen. I’ve been watching for about a year. I just can’t take my attention away from you. I am definitely going to make this recipe!
Thank you for all the little cooking tips to make these “next level” spring rolls! “Egg roll” is an Americanize version and uses thicker skin wrappers (made with egg/flour).
I can't eat those eggrolls with the thicker skin. My teeth aren't up to it. I like using the spring roll wrappers because they come out so crispy, with no chewiness or toughness.
Thank you! As an American, I get irritated when I go to a Chinese Restaurant and order an Egg Roll from the menu and get served Spring Rolls. There's a noticeable difference between the two.
You got me worried when the video started without your signature greeting, egg rolls are the perfect comfort food and you just made y day as always, ty very much for the upload.
Always love your tips and tricks! I literally gasped with surprise when you added the cornstarch slurry to make your filling more cohesive...I bet this also cuts down of the filling from leaking too much liquid during the fry. And your hard work on filming and production quality is paying off! Great job.
You always make your instructions so easy to understand and that anyone can make them. The smell must be incredible when you are cooking and when you bite into whatever you just made, I'm jealous and my mouth is watering. I enjoy watching your program so much and learn a lot. The one about the must have Chinese ingredients in your kitchen was very helpful. Thank you so much.
Cooking class plus scientific facts behind each dish. Excellent, you have one of the best cooking channels on You Tube 👍👍👍👏👏👏 thank you Mandy! I’m a big fan…🥰
I love the way you gave extra information/history while continuing to show how to roll. Helpful and interesting. So close to 100k subscribers. I’m very excited for you!
Hi Mandy, I love your channel! My kids love Chinese foods . You always make your instructions so easy to understand and that anyone cane make them. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom and knowledge!🙏🙏❤️
Beautiful video! I’ve been binging your channel this morning. So simple. So authentic. Making fried rice for dinner because I have everything to try it. Thank you!!
These look fantastic! I like the idea of the garlic chives rather than handfuls of shredded cabbage. I want to make some of these this weekend. Thanks for the video.
I also make my egg rolls every once in a while I feel it’s much better when you make it at home since you use your own favorite ingredients. Thank you Mandy for your recipe. I love all your recipes.
This is the most amazing authentic food show that I've ever experienced. So detailed and precise. It helps me to understand why you maintain your weight and are very healthy. The majority of these wonderful authentic dishes are in fact very healthy and tasty. We appreciate you teaching us all of the do's and don'ts to authentic cooking I am truly amazed and my husband has enjoyed all of them. Keep bringing those wonderful recipes to fill our spirits and soul. If you could, I would like to see more recipes of your authentic recipes for tea beverages.
I’m going to try this spring roll recipe tonight in my Souped Up Recipes wok! My local Asian grocer has been out of garlic chives for over a week now so I think I’ll use Napa cabbage 🥬 and bamboo shoots. Looks so good and looks fun to make! Thanks again and always, Mandy!
I love your videos and you always make me smile.😊 I tried the egg roll recipe you did 5yrs ago and liked it very much. The home made dipping is sauce is delicious as well. This recipe is somewhat elevated. I made them tonight a they are so good. Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes. I have learned a lot from you. Wishing you happiness and good health. 🙏
I never thought of cooking Asian cuisines thought it was out of my reach. Until I thought let's try some fried rice. It was so much easier than I thought. And boy are those Chinese food restaurants slacking. I think these might be next.
In America, a lot of cooks use an egg wash to seal the wrapper and even put egg wash on the outside of the wrapper before frying, in order to make them crispier.
This looks sooo amazing! And yes, it would be nice to sit down together and share a meal. Since moving to Vermont I have not been able to purchase good wrappers and haven’t found an Asian market nearby. But thank you for making it look easier to make than I thought possible
Thank you for sharing in the UK we call them spring rolls I only heard of egg roll in the USA and that confused us Brits lol. Until we learnt they are the same. Can't wait to try these yummys. Xx
I have enjoyed your videos for some time now. I have your Wok for about 2 years and enjoyed it throughly. This video is the best in regards to quality, explanation, and hands on viewing. Looking forward to future videos……. Amitofo Xie`Xie`
A very different flavored and delicious roll! I subbed napa cabbage for bean sprouts, and used both shrimp and pork. Garlic chives are amazing! Forgot to try the wooster sauce, and made hot mustard instead, which was superb with the very fresh, "green" taste of the rolls.
Hi Mandy, I love your channel! Although I came to love Chinese food as an adult when I was young I absolutely hated it. But now Chinese food is predominantly what I eat! I also love to make everything from scratch and I love the fact that you show each step and describe the history behind the dishes. In Australia we call these yummy bites Spring Rolls. It always surprises me how different western countries call a Chinese dish by so many different names. You are doing such a great job explaining and showing your cultural food.Thankyou!
Thank you for sharing your recipes I will definitely be making egg rolls this weekend also have you made salt and pepper chicken with green onions and if not can you consider doing a salt and pepper chicken video
These look absolutely fabulous. I will make these next! Mandy, do you know of the red cherry sauce? I absolutely love that sauce and I can never find it anymore. It's a very sweet bright red sauce that I used to dip crab rangoon, wontons, and egg rolls in. Thank you so much!
In my experience, egg roll wrappers are dipped in egg before rolling for extra richness, and regular wrappers are spring rolls. Delicious either way in my opinion lol
I love your channel, can you find out how to make wor shu gai, or boneless almond chicken I think it is Cantonese style dish that has a yellowish gravy
Yet another great sounding recipe! Going to add this to the dim sum ill be making tomorrow! Is there any way to properly reheat these (IE take them for lunch)? Thank you!
egg rolls are actually the american version of the spring roll and they are called that because it has a noticeably thicker bumpier or bubblier skin and has a crispier mouthfeel due to them actually incorporating an egg into the batter and some people even say they are dipped in egg
This is my understanding, too. They were apparently invented here in the 30s (by a Chinese chef). I tend to prefer egg rolls over Spring rolls, but both are amazing!
Hey Mandy! Wow, another amazing recipe! They look so crunchy and delicious that my mouth is watering! Lol I love Worcestershire so I bet it pairs great with them. Thanks for all you do, I know these recipes come straight from your heart. You're such a talented chef...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!! xo : )
….oh I love learning new techniques for my “Mandy Wok” ….it’s all these insider secrets that inspire me to click on your vids right away…will sub jackfruit for meat and it’s a plan…ty🤍
I have made these and I had a lot left so I froze them. Then when I felt like having them another night I took them straight from the freezer and let them sit for about 20-30 min and then fried them up and they were just as yummy as the original sounded new that I cooked. But I have also cooked these straight from the freezer and they were great too. If that helps.
Yum! I'm from Australia and I always wondered if egg rolls in movies were the same as spring rolls which is what they are called in English here. These look delicious and I am definitely going to try them with tofu instead of pork. Thank you 😊
I had one of dim sum dishes that blew my mjnd coz i never had something like that. It was minced shrimp wrapped in beancurd skin and then fried. So delicious. Can you show us how to make it?? Please! Do a dimsum series.

You probably should pin this. I almost missed it.
Looks like a better egg roll. Thanks for making this video. I had no idea about the spicy soy sauce!
When I was a kid in Hong Kong, dim sum restaurants served Worcestershire sauce with spring rolls. Now my kids won’t eat egg rolls without Worcestershire sauce.
You can get it on Amazon-it’s called Maggi European Seasoning. Looks like soy sauce and is very similar to Worcestershire sauce..
@@amyg4115 Is it just called Maggi Seasoning or is it specifically Maggi European Seasoning, because Amazon has both listed? Thanks !
I enjoy recipes like this that leave me thinking, "I can do that."
Very good instructions. Thank you.
You are the best instructor I believe I’ve ever seen. I’ve been watching for about a year. I just can’t take my attention away from you. I am definitely going to make this recipe!
I agree 100% 😊

The aromatic water was absolutely brilliant

Very crispy outside , yet the moist inside, well done.

using the no touch thermometer to check your oil temperature just blew my mind. So many useful tips for even when i'm not making eggrolls!
Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing
I love these videos. You explain things clearly, so I can understand how to cook these delicious things myself.
Absolutely perfect as you say! Thank you so much. Your recipes are delicious. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge!

Great video 👏👏👏👏👏 really enjoyed this tutorial
Oh your egg rolls look so good. Live your food.
You just keep coming back with all the food that I would LOVE to cook Tysm!!
I’m going to try this spring roll recipe tonight in my Souped Up Recipes wok! My local Asian grocer has been out of garlic chives for over a week now so I think I’ll use Napa cabbage 🥬 and bamboo shoots. Looks so good and looks fun to make! Thanks again and always, Mandy!
Was thinking of using cabbage too. Why Napa cabbage and not plain ole cabbage?
You can use regular; just slice it fine and/or trim any thick ribs. Napa cabbage leaves are thinner and softer and the flavor is usually milder.
@@JohnsJunk Napa cabbage is more leafy. Usually used in Chinese cuisine more than other cabbages. And it tastes better IMO.
@@hkalsa7200 Awesome. Thanks!
@@JamieRoberts77 Good to know. Thanks!

I LOVE EGG , ROLLS TYHEY SO GOOD ,, I GET THEM ALL THE TIME ,
i love your videos❤️ from philippines miss mandy
I have to try this.love egg rolls :)
In Australia these are called mini spring rolls. We also have large spring rolls. You only need one large one for lunch. Thank you. 🌸
Ha! Marathon all the way. Stinks the whole house out.
@@markbryant4641, I don’t know. We don’t eat the big one. Not good for diabetic people and I don’t know what is in there.
I've eaten the large ones and I don't think they smell. They are just vegies and a little bit of curry powder. Hugely popular back in the day! lol
And now I'm off to the market to get all of the ingredients!
THIS EXACTLY HOW WE WRAP & FRY FILIPINO LUMPIA/EGG ROLL! :)
That’s something I need to remember. I have heard of lumpia but have not eaten any.
안녕하세요~~~
Hello, I'm watching you in Korea. The dumplings look so pretty and delicious~~ I think you're really good at making dumplings.👍👍
These look absolutely fabulous. I will make these next! Mandy, do you know of the red cherry sauce? I absolutely love that sauce and I can never find it anymore. It's a very sweet bright red sauce that I used to dip crab rangoon, wontons, and egg rolls in. Thank you so much!
Oh me too! I'd love to learn how to make that also!!!
From Kenya 🇰🇪 must prepare
In my experience, egg roll wrappers are dipped in egg before rolling for extra richness, and regular wrappers are spring rolls. Delicious either way in my opinion lol
That gives extra richness, but makes them a bit less crispy - so the choice will ultimately be a matter of preference.
Can you make a batch ahead of time and freeze them to deep fry later? Or will it ruin the flavor and texture ?
Heat wok to Mandy. Same thing as 'Smoking Hot". Awesome recipe and video!
I love your channel, can you find out how to make wor shu gai, or boneless almond chicken I think it is Cantonese style dish that has a yellowish gravy
Your recipe seems awesome 👏 can you use shrimp instead? Thanks so much for sharing!
Yes of course!
Yet another great sounding recipe! Going to add this to the dim sum ill be making tomorrow! Is there any way to properly reheat these (IE take them for lunch)? Thank you!

This is my understanding, too. They were apparently invented here in the 30s (by a Chinese chef). I tend to prefer egg rolls over Spring rolls, but both are amazing!
That makes sense. My local restaurant never had egg rolls, just spring rolls like we saw in the video
I made sure and prepared me dinner before watching the video today 😀😃 Wendy makes you dribble then she says “bye!!!🤣🤣🤣
Hey Mandy! Wow, another amazing recipe! They look so crunchy and delicious that my mouth is watering! Lol I love Worcestershire so I bet it pairs great with them. Thanks for all you do, I know these recipes come straight from your heart. You're such a talented chef...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!! xo : )
Had to come see my Mandy making tasty food today!
….oh I love learning new techniques for my “Mandy Wok” ….it’s all these insider secrets that inspire me to click on your vids right away…will sub jackfruit for meat and it’s a plan…ty🤍
As much as I love a challenge when I see one… do these freeze well? Before frying, of course.
Or would I be better off reducing recipe?
I have made these and I had a lot left so I froze them. Then when I felt like having them another night I took them straight from the freezer and let them sit for about 20-30 min and then fried them up and they were just as yummy as the original sounded new that I cooked.

Yum! I'm from Australia and I always wondered if egg rolls in movies were the same as spring rolls which is what they are called in English here. These look delicious and I am definitely going to try them with tofu instead of pork. Thank you 😊
Spring rolls are different here.And in Thailand too.
Egg rolls are much bigger than spring rolls
I had one of dim sum dishes that blew my mjnd coz i never had something like that. It was minced shrimp wrapped in beancurd skin and then fried. So delicious. Can you show us how to make it?? Please! Do a dimsum series.
Thanks for the recipe. So yummy.. I’ll try the the W sauce.. where part of USA are you? Did you use just the regular W sauce.. very good teacher
