Imperial Spring Rolls

Other names would included "spring rolls", "winter rolls", "lumpia", or "cha gio". This appetizer is actually a culinary treasure; a must-have entree for any party platter.

You can also purchase eggrolls in frozen packages of about 30 pieces each for $7.99, or $15.99 to $18.99 for 3.5 lbs (Pork Flavor) to 4.0 lbs (Seafood Flavor), and $13.99 for 2.5 lbs (Vegetable) in certain Asian markets. But of course these are cocktail-size - small, frozen, and could not be as fresh. And how long ago was it packaged other than the expiration date on the package, if it is shown? In addition, since these eggrolls are machine packed, they are shown cut open at both ends (freezer burnt stuffing); freeze-thaw thus must be done overnight in refrigerator to avoid possible stuffing spoilages. Deep frying these would still picks up more oils than the hand-roll traditional eggrolls where both ends are wrapping closed.

However, when our friends requested this item to stock up their freezers, they know that it is freshly packaged (less than a day old). And we use airtight double-guard freezer Ziploc to protect eggrolls against freezer burnt. And the package is always clearly indicated the date it was prepared, how long we think it would be good for along with cooking, and handling directions, etc. Last but not least, we always freeze these packages overnight, before they are picked up.

Ingredients: Eggroll wrapper (enriched wheat flour), choice stuffing (pork, chicken, seafood’s, vegetables), Vegetables (cabbage, carrots, garlic, onion, mushrooms), Seasonings (salt, sugar, ground pepper), Natural Flavorings and Extracts (soy sauce, sesame oil, five spices, seafood seasoning), other (vegetable oil, vermicelli noodles, whole eggs).

How It Is Prepared: Each eggroll is hand rolled to perfection then deep fried to golden brown in fresh vegetable oils. Frying oils is first heated to an initial range of no less than 195 oF to a max range of 270 oF, before a batch is dropped in. The eggrolls are then deep fried to a surface temperature of 190 oF until golden brown. It is then removed to drain off any excess oils and randomly checked for a target internal temperatures of 165 oF using a commercial-grade Thermistor.
