Cantonese Spring Roll

Use this homemade spring roll recipe to produce the Cantonese spring rolls you know and love from dim sum restaurants!  

When I was growing up, Chinatown was the only place to go for true Chinese food, but it was virtually entirely Cantonese.  

Nowadays, Chinese food in the United States has come a long way, thanks to an inflow of immigrants from all throughout China.  

So it's no wonder that two separate varieties of Chinese spring rolls emerged throughout time: this Cantonese variety and the Shanghainese one.  

Judy has already shared a Shanghai-style spring roll on her blog. While I appreciate all variations, I wanted to clarify why we are sharing two spring roll recipes.   

Her version is made by her Shanghainese family, but mine is based on my Cantonese family's spring roll recipe.  

The Shanghai and Cantonese clans also have different preferred dipping sauces. Shanghai spring rolls are always served with vinegar,  

although dim sum restaurants provide them with whichever condiment you choose. Some people prefer it with plum sauce, spicy oil, chili garlic sauce, vinegar, or plain soy sauce.
