韭菜虾仁春卷 (Jiu Cai Xia Ren Chun Juan) A super delicious traditional Chinese spring roll that uses Chinese leek and shrimp. Spring roll (春卷) is a traditional delicacy that was usually only consumed during Chinese new year, when people had feasts after one year of hard work. Due to the nature of deep frying, they are not typically consumed on a daily basis. Yellow Chinese leek (韭黄) is probably the best spring roll filling.
