Spring rolls, also known as spring cakes and pancakes, are popular traditional snacks in Fuzhou with a long history and evolved from ancient spring cakes.

With spring cakes, there are naturally dishes. The so-called harmony vegetable is to shred, mix or stir-fry seasonal vegetables such as leeks, bean sprouts and dried mushrooms. If mixed, blanch the bean sprouts with water, cook the dried vermicelli, hook it with starch, vinegar and soy sauce to make juice, and mix the shredded vegetables with the juice. If you want to stir-fry, put shredded pork, shredded egg skin, mung bean sprouts, dried bean curd, vermicelli, spinach or leek into a pot and stir-fry until cooked. Note that you can add shredded sea cucumber, shredded belly, shredded mushroom and shredded ham, which will taste better and be more nutritious.
