National Egg Roll Day

National Egg Roll Day rolls around on June 10 every year. Whether brown, white,  free-range, or organic eggs, this deep-fried finger food can have it  all! Although similar to Mainland Chinese spring rolls, the egg roll has its contents wrapped in a crispy, thick, egg-dipped pastry, making the  cabbage, meat, and other ingredients of the filling extra scrumptious! With its Asian heritage, egg rolls have found their way into every Vietnamese and Chinese-American restaurant, and thus, into every American’s heart.

History of National Egg Roll Day

Established  in 2019, in honor of the founders of Van’s Kitchen, Van and Kim Nguyen, National Egg Roll Day is a relatively new food holiday. Van’s Kitchen began in Dallas, Texas, in 1986, with the Vietnamese-themed restaurant, representing the beginning of the family’s pursuit of the ‘American  dream’. Like many other immigrant families, Van and Kim came from Vietnam with a passion for sharing their culture through food,  especially their authentic egg rolls — consisting of shredded cabbage,  minced meat (usually pork), bamboo shoot, onions, and a variety of other  freshly ground spices all blended into one delectable filling. They strive to maintain the quality of their egg rolls by using only the  freshest ingredients.

Although the origins of the dish are  unknown, it may be traced back to Southern China’s Cantonese cuisine. However, many Asian countries also lay claim to having different  variations of the humble egg roll. According to Andrew Coe, author of  “Chop Suey: A Cultural History of Chinese Food in the United States,”  the modern-day egg roll was most likely invented in New York in the 1930s. As compared to the ancient Southern Chinese traditional rolls, Americans have been consuming egg-roll-like food since the mid-1800s.

The distinctive American-style egg roll recipe was first published in 1938  by chef Henry Low, one of the two contending chefs who vie to take credit for popularizing the dish. Despite its short history, the typical  egg roll we see today has stayed true to its crunchy, soft, savory origins, and just the thought of it has us drooling and reaching for the nearest takeout menu.

You  don’t have to be an ‘eggetarian’ to enjoy an egg roll. In fact, many egg rolls don’t even contain eggs.There are versions of the egg roll tweaked to suit every dietary style, lifestyle choice, and palate, so no one is left wanting.

Just  as we saw the merging of Chinese and American cuisines to create American-Chinese dishes, the egg roll brings different cultures together  through its versatility and universal appeal.

Celebrating  a holiday like National Egg Roll Day brings egg rolls and their history  into the limelight, highlighting the importance of supporting family-run restaurants and other businesses that are owned by communities from other parts of the world. It’s, therefore, a great way to promote these businesses and keep them from going down.

Storm clouds hover over the ancient Nazca Lines in the Nazca Desert of Peru.

Had orange chicken, an egg roll, and chow mein for dinner from Safeway. I’ve been wanting their chow mein for a while. I think their orange chicken might be better than Central’s. Although, both are good.

Chicken egg roll, fried rice, and sesame chicken for dinner. Got this from Safeway. I don’t get it very often, but my parent and I saw them and decided to each get our own. (She got the General Tso’s.) Kind of ate together this way. I had all of the egg roll, just a few pieces of chicken, and about half of the rice. The chicken’s always so sweet. I can’t have more than a little bit. I like the rice. The egg roll filled me up before I got to the other stuff. It was pretty good.
