Choose from a variety of side dishes from RedMart to enhance your meals

Spring rolls are popular appetizers, they are also consumed as snacks since they are light and made with healthy ingredients. But they are not the same. Spring and summer rolls have their origin in Southeast and South Asia but have become a lot more popular globally. While the first variant is deep-fried the latter is more refreshing and lighter. Spring variant originated in China and it was made to mark the start of the New Year in the spring season. The wrapper is as thin as paper and made using water and flour. The filling of these side dishes includes a combination of shrimp, pork, cabbage, and bean sprouts. They are served with sweet, sour sauce, vinegar, or Worcestershire dipping sauce. 

The egg roll is similar to it and originated in America. But in this case, an egg is added to the batter of the wrapper. This results in a thick batter and the skin looks bumpy and blistered rather than smooth. Summer rolls are convenience food that is served cold and are perfectly suited for eating in summer. The wrapper is translucent in this case. They are also known as salad rolls, or fresh spring rolls, or Vietnamese spring rolls. The stuffing of this food contains carrots, rice noodles, cucumbers, lettuce, shrimp, herb, and pork which is wrapped in a wrapper made using rice paper. They are served using hoisin or peanut dipping sauce. Whatever might be the difference between these three delicacies, they give a fresh taste and are loved across several nations.
