春巻(はるま)き

はるまき
noun
spring roll
food
1. spring roll (deep-fried)
A Chinese-origin dish of shredded vegetables and meat wrapped in a thin wheat skin and deep-fried. A staple item on Chinese restaurant menus in Japan and a common bento side.

Composed of 春(はる) (spring) + 巻(ま)き (roll). The name reflects the dish's origin as a way to wrap fresh spring vegetables. In Japan the term almost always refers to the deep-fried Chinese-style roll, not the fresh Vietnamese-style 生(なま)春巻(はるま)き.
