A correction should be made in this article, where it is stated that a spring roll is "never deep fried". Spring rolls are often fried in American, Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese cuisine, and deep frying is not excluded from this method. In other countries a spring roll may be boiled in a light broth or salted water, however they are almost never eaten raw. Further, this article contradicts the article on Summer roll, which are typically eaten raw, in contrast to a spring roll. -- riyley 1:14pm, 16 Nov 2006 (MST)
What are julienned vegetables? -- Abdull 13:25, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Julienned just refers to a way of cutting them. Personally when I make egg rolls or spring rolls, I just stick the vegetables in a food processor until they're cut up small (but not liquified)
This article needs some serious work, and needs to be merged with the summer roll article, depending on locality, summer rolls == spring rolls. I have been to many Vietnamese resturants, and only ever seen one use the phrase "summer roll", most use the phrase "spring roll". Dividing this article by country and even region would be a good idea, within Vietnam alone different regions have very different methods of making spring rolls. Com2kid 01:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
The paragraph on Vietnamese "egg rolls" is actually incorrect - these are the actual spring rolls, made of a wheat-based pastry. There is no such thing as a roll made of rice paper that is fried up. I've also never heard of the rice paper rolls/summer rolls referred to as spring rolls. I agree with Com2kid that this article needs a lot of work. Pyon 07:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
This article claims that spring rolls are made with phyllo dough, which is a pastry sheet of Greek origin made with buter. Spring roll wrappers are made without any fat, and are frequently made with rice flour. In short, the word phyllo has no business appearing in this article unless it is used in comparison with the actual material that is used. Sun da sheng 02:31, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
No variants are commonly called "eggrolls" in Australia, although they are in the USA.

The Chiko roll in Australia is not a spring roll, spring rolls are also sold in Australia alongside Chiko rolls in many cases, they are large and deep fried also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.144.127.200 ( talk) 18:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
There seem to be much more complete articles for spring roll' in the edit history. I think the current page may be a result of vandalism, but a quick glance over previous edits does not reveal an un-vandalized version. Someone with some time and knowledge should looking into fixing this. TheTyrant ( talk) 14:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)TheTyrant
According to the definition in this article, a spring roll are fried pastries that can be found in several Asian countries.
Further in the article, I read :
Fried vs. Non-fried
(...) Non-fried spring rolls are typically bigger and more savory.
So, according to the definition of spring rolls, we are discussing "Non-fried fried patries" here.
I suspect something is incorrect. Either, the definition of 'spring roll' should be "a specific type of pastries, usually fried", or what they describe as 'non-fried spring rolls' aren't spring rolls. Then, that should read: "another type of pastry is very similar to spring rolls, but they are not fried".
Please, correct the article if you know what can be called a spring roll.
I will also remove the part that says spring rolls are found in several Asian countries out of the definition, because if they are part of the definition, restaurants in other parts of the world can make the same things (or import them from Asia), but then they would no longer be spring rolls according to the wikipedia definition.

I would have corrected this passage, which is generally the kind of writing that gives Wikipedia a bad name:
"A popular joke variant involves substituting the rice paper for sliced white bread, and a can of Tom Piper's Braised Beef instead of sliced carrot, vermicelli noodles, and pork. The rolls are then "fried" in a sandwich press machine, instead of a deep frier. This was introduced in the spoof show "Life Support"."
However, I'm not sure what to correct it to. Presumably whoever wrote this meant that the joke version contains white bread instead of rice paper, but s/he wrote the exact opposite; also, I find it hard to miss the implication that the can and all goes into the sandwich, not just its contents. Is a "sandwich press machine" what everybody else in the world calls a Sandwich toaster? "Frier" should be "fryer", and finally, to mention that something was invented on a TV show that I've never heard of and which there is no link to, does not illuminate the subject at all. I'll correct the no-brainers. Lexo ( talk) 20:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
This article would benefit if it could answer the question: What is a spring roll? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaneski ( talk • contribs) 14:36, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
They're claiming "spring roll" means any egg roll... But, in the United States, "spring roll" means a vegetarian egg roll (not vegan, but vegetarian), while "egg roll" is used for ones with meat, differentiating the two. So, this wikipedia page has completely confused me. And, it has a lot more written in it than the egg roll page does. My understanding makes complete sense... Spring... Plant-based fillings... Hello! But, the way they say to use it makes no sense. So, I think they got it wrong. And, why are they calling the filling dim sum? It isn't dim sum. -- 174.19.181.117 ( talk) 06:13, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
Should the article note the fairly popular use in the US of spring roll to refer to cold rolls/ Goi cuon? -- TheSeer ( Talkˑ Contribs) 00:50, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
In Laos they are called ຢໍ (yaw) and come in fresh/raw and fried versions called ຢໍດິບ and ຢໍຈືນ respectively. — Hippietrail ( talk) 08:58, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
We should probably include a hatnote for US common name usage for "spring rolls" (basically Gỏi cuốn and variants). — al-Shimoni ( talk) 14:15, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
