    I'm in Canada…Egg rolls are kinda like a larger spring roll filled bean sprouts and are generally deep fried. Spring rolls are usually smaller and I believe a different exterior. Those ones in rice paper are usually called fresh spring rolls or salad rolls.

    Hi Marion and team. I am a your fan, but as an Asian, I just want to correct one thing from your channel. You should say 'Lunar New Year', NOT 'Chinese New Year'. It's many Asians festival, NOT Mandarin speakers 'spring festival'. Amongst Asians, no one says 'Happy American Christmas', I mean that we don't use 'certain' country's name for westerners festival. As an Asian, you and your team deeply think and choose the words when you guys describe or explain the things, are related to cultural stuff.

    I’m from the US and those are definitely eggrolls to us lol and yes the fresh ones are spring rolls! My Canadian friends call the fried ones spring rolls and the fresh ones summer rolls! Which I never heard until I met them.

    I live in the US. When WE say spring rolls, we mean the thin coated, crispy fried little rolls, usually with just vegetable, about the size of your cheeseburger spring rolls. We call those things you referred to in your video "cold rolls" or "wet rolls" but I think even within the US that may be a regional term. Our egg rolls are thicker and bigger and we actually distinguish between "do they have cabbage egg rolls or bean sprout (bean shoot) egg rolls?" Because everyone here has very divisive feelings on that lol

    The egg rolls sound really great. I never thought of this combo for them. Yum!! And I must say that the "big reveal" on the pork belly does sound as if you are going to show off the new baby! You are such a natural comedienne. Love your work.

    I was told the difference is the size. The eggrolls were huge and the spring roll was small not more than 2 fingers wide. But not being Asian I have just been going off what I was told. I was also told that the fillings are very different. Spring rolls are more spring-like veggies and very lil meat and egg rolls have well anything and are more of an American Asian invention… lol I have 0 clues, to be honest.

    I can't wait to make your duck recipe. I love duck & crisp duck is just the best. I'm sure your recipe will be great because I've already tried your turkey breast recipe & it was the very first time I made turkey & didn't throw it out immediately after cooking it. I couldn't believe how wonderful your turkey was; it was moist, flavorful, & just divine. I looked up your 5-Spice recipe as well. Thanks for your recipes.

    Yum! About the spring rolls: here in Germany, when ordering spring rolls: you'll most likely get egg rolls. The dough you have there is sping roll dough. The dough that is also used for won tons and dim sum. The vietnamese spring rolls are using rice paper. Plus: you wanna look for: summer rolls! While what you use for egg rolls is rather like an omlette. And they are always pan fried and never crispy.
    When I visited the US, my brother told me: "what you wanna call for is egg rolls". And then I found out that I just missed the chance to get spring rolls. It only happened once to me. I LOVE spring rolls!
    Greetings from the far north of Germany!

    In the US:
    SRING rolls = slim fried rolls like Vietnamese cha gio, and SUMMER rolls = fresh/ nonfried ones.
    EGG rolls = the big ass fried ones you get with Chinese takeout.
    That's how we refer to them in NYC, anyway 😆

    i’m american and i always thought that spring rolls = thin, crispy wrapper and a thinner overall shape. more like a thai style spring roll or a filipino lumpia. and egg rolls use that thicker, chewier wrapper and are usually THICC, like what you get at an american chinese restaurant
