In most cases ( at least from the ones ive sampled), the primary ingredient of a spring roll/ egg roll is cabbage. If I make it following the recipe, it will call for a certain amount of shredded cabbage. If I buy something from the freezer section and look at the back of the box at the ingredients, the first ingredient is usually cabbage.
Every time I go into an asian market, there are like 20 different varieties of cabbage. Im assuming , since it is an Asian recipe, the cabbage they would use traditional would not be the same cabbage I buy for St Patricks day ( or would it?)
So, my question is, what cabbage do think they use ( in the Chinese restaurants ) to make an egg roll/ spring roll? Im sure it can be made with whatever you like or is available, but I notice that theirs has a slightly different taste and texture than the traditional cabbage. ( I made them tonight using traditional cabbage , as I usually do, and it comes out great, just not like theirs)
