NATIONAL EGG ROLL DAY
Roll out the red carpet for National Egg Roll Day celebrations on June 10. This yummy food holiday delivers an American Dream story, plus satisfies a craving at the same time. You know you’re craving an egg roll now!
#NationalEggRollDay
The egg roll began as a Chinese-American tradition that extended to Vietnamese immigrants reaching for the American Dream. These traditions grew from the unfailing dedication of families in chop suey palaces serving hungry workers. What started as an essential role in making dreams come true for several generations of immigrants in the United States, this delicious food item continues to on for many still today.
Egg rolls are a satisfying snack or an exciting part of a meal at home or away. Restaurants across the country perfected their own versions of the egg roll with a variety of finely chopped ingredients--pork, shrimp, cabbage, onions, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and seasonings all rolled up in a thin pastry wrap and deep-fried.
Our ability to celebrate National Egg Roll Day is as close as our freezer, telephone, restaurant, or even our own recipe. We encourage you to enjoy it as a snack or part of an entre today. Egg rolls meet strict diets, exotic flavors, and so much more! What more could we ask for a celebration?

HISTORY BEHIND NATIONAL EGG ROLL DAY
Van’s Kitchen founded National Egg Roll Day in 2019 to honor the company’s founding in June of 1986. The Registrar at National Day Calendar approved the day to be celebrated each year on June 10.
About the Founder
Van and Kim Nguyen, two deserving Vietnamese immigrants, made their ultimate American Dream come to life with their passion for creating authentic egg rolls. The Nguyens created a business model based solely on their greatest strength: making authentic egg rolls for those they love. Using only fresh, whole ingredients and crafting the egg rolls in artisan batches, Van’s Kitchen sets themselves apart by maintaining their decades-long commitment to making every bite the best one.
Like many immigrant families before them, Van and Kim Nguyen came from Vietnam. Together, they established a home and family business in Dallas, Texas. They diligently hired hard-working employees, filling out paperwork in a language that was not their own.
