Traditionally the Chinese make spring rolls with mostly cabbage. That is not a common vegetable so people can use more of it. It has a nice taste similar to sauerkraut. With this vegetable, you do not need any noodles. In Philadelphia, the spring roll is a vegetarian egg roll. A 300 year old Chinese recipe for egg rolls uses a head of lettuce for 20 servings.
