National Egg Roll Day

National Egg Roll Day celebrates the crispy, savory egg roll—a deep-fried appetizer commonly filled with ingredients such as cabbage, pork, shrimp, chicken, onions, and other vegetables. Despite its name, egg rolls may contain little or no egg. They are associated with Chinese-American and Vietnamese-American cuisine and can be enjoyed as a snack or as part of a meal.

Van’s Kitchen founded National Egg Roll Day in 2019 to commemorate the company’s founding in June 1986. Van and Kim Nguyen, Vietnamese immigrants, established their family business in Dallas, Texas, with a passion for making authentic egg rolls. The holiday honors their story, dedication, and the role of egg rolls in bringing people together. Van’s Kitchen shares more about the holiday’s history and ways to celebrate.
