Spring rolls and spring cakes are snacks from beginning of spring, and there are many kinds and some exquisite ones.
First of all, let’s talk about the raw materials.
The crust of most spring rolls is a dough crust, while in the Philippines [spring rolls] crust is rice crust made of rice pulp. There are more kinds of fillings wrapped in the crust, mostly crisp fresh vegetables with marinated cooked meat, eggs and seafood, as well as pure meat stuffing, or sweet stuffing such as bean paste and sugar powder.
