Why Is An Eggroll Called An Eggroll?
Despite its name, an eggroll does not necessarily contain eggs. The name “eggroll” refers to the wrap used to encase the filling, which is made using eggs, flour, and water. The wrap, called “spring roll skin,” is thin and crispy. Over time, the name “eggroll” has become synonymous with the dish itself, even though it may not contain any eggs at all.
