spring roll

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a chinese savoury' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'source some bread' is the wordplay.
'source' becomes 'spring' (spring is a kind of source).
'some bread' becomes 'roll' (roll is a kind of bread).
'spring'+'roll'='SPRING ROLL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spring roll that I've seen before include "Gloucestershire event?" , "Chinese pancake" , "Chinese snack" , "Portion of Chinese food" , "dish from China" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
