If you&#8217;ve ever spent a winter in the Northern Hemisphere at a latitude of 42\u00b0 or more, you know what it&#8217;s like to long for that light. You can relate to the irritability and restlessness of having fewer than eight hours of sunlight during winter months. You know what it&#8217;s like to head to work in the dark and return home in the dark. You know the confinement of cabin fever when persistent rain or snow keep you indoors for prolonged periods of time.

While most countries celebrate spring festivals a couple of weeks after the much loathed Daylight Savings Time, China&#8217;s Spring Festival (better known as the Chinese New Year) begins somewhat earlier. Generally falling on a day between January 21st and February 20th in the Gregorian calendar, this spring festival is the grandest festival in China. China&#8217;s spring festival is a seven-day long holiday in which foods with symbolic meanings are eaten to bring celebrants good luck during the coming year.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63498\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63498\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-63498 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/584;border: 4px solid black; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SpringRollin02-scaled.jpeg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"584\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SpringRollin02-scaled.jpeg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 2560w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SpringRollin02-300x233.jpeg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SpringRollin02-1024x797.jpeg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SpringRollin02-150x117.jpeg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 150w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SpringRollin02-768x597.jpeg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SpringRollin02-1536x1195.jpeg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 1536w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SpringRollin02-2048x1593.jpeg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 2048w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SpringRollin02.jpeg?size=384x299&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 384w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SpringRollin02.jpeg?size=512x399&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 512w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SpringRollin02.jpeg?size=640x498&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 640w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63498\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spring Rolling in the Cottonwood Area Location<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">Not surprisingly, one of the lucky foods associated with the spring festival are spring rolls (which explains the origin of their name).

Of course, what makes it New Mexican is the green chile, a blend which would rate about medium on most piquancy scales.

Try the other dipping sauces if you\u2019re curious, but the most complementary sauce is the green chile sauce, a neon green chile with a nice flavor. Because of the characteristic crispiness of egg roll skins, your brain might be temporarily fooled into believing you\u2019re enjoying a standard Chinese egg roll.

If there\u2019s one thing that sets Spring Rollin\u2019s rendition apart, it\u2019s the larger piece of sausage and greater quality of rice noodles. This is the type of sausage with which you\u2019ll happily celebrate any life event, especially spring. Worthy accompaniment to the egg and spring rolls are the honey Sriracha shrimp chips, reminiscent in appearance of packing material, but with a delightful texture and flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63500\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63500\" style=\"width: 638px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-63500 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 638px;

font-family: Verdana;\"><strong>21 April 2023 (Cottonwood)<\/strong>: Perhaps the best bargain at Spring Rollin&#8217; is the <em><strong>Triple Combo<\/strong><\/em> (two egg rolls, two spring rolls and pho). \u00a0Technically spicy lemongrass soup isn&#8217;t a pho though it is a beef noodle soup. \u00a0It&#8217;s the Vietnamese soup with the most personality (translation: it&#8217;s spicy and piquant). \u00a0My cup (above) overflowed with ingredients, including several jalape\u00f1os on top. \u00a0Below the surface you&#8217;ll find smoked brisket and beef meatballs. \u00a0More than any spicy lemongrass soup I&#8217;ve ever had (and I&#8217;ve had dozens), Spring Rollin&#8217;s has the very best smoked brisket. \u00a0It&#8217;s smoked so well that it permeates the broth, infusing it with an almost &#8220;barbecue&#8221; quality. \u00a0The beef meatballs inherited some of that smokiness, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong>21 April 2023 (Cottonwood)<\/strong>: My Kim rarely passes up <em><strong>banh mi<\/strong><\/em>, the delightful Vietnamese sandwich. \u00a0It&#8217;s available at Spring Rollin&#8217; with beef, chicken, tofu and pork sausage (her choice). \u00a0The sandwich is brimming with fresh ingredients, particularly with veggies (julienne carrots, cucumber, parsley) and is served with the de rigueur fish sauce.\u00a0 The baguette is soft and chewy yet formidable enough to contain all the fresh, moist ingredients of the banh mi.\u00a0 As with all great banh mi, the focus is not necessarily on the protein you select, but on the coalescence of flavors and textures.\u00a0 Done well, you won&#8217;t even mind that the protein isn&#8217;t necessarily the star of the show.\u00a0 Spring Rollin&#8217;s Banh Mi is done well!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63501\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63501\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-63501 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px;
