Spring roll (egg roll) is called harumaki in Japan. Haru indicates spring and maki means rolling in Japanese. It's a popular Chinese appetizer, which is also popular in Japan.

For Japanese-style spring roll fillings, shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots are often used. Cooked strips of bamboo shoots can be found at Asian stores. Also, it's good to use shrimps or pork.

You may use leftovers, such as stir-fries for the filling. Try different ingredients to make your own spring rolls at home.
Enjoy cooking!
