What is a Big Mock Egg Roll?

Is it a vegan Big Mac?  Kind of.  I bet you have never heard of a Big Mock Egg Roll.  Neither had I.  And to be honest I thought to myself…that sounds odd.  But as I got deeper into watching Tonia cook up this special treat, I said to myself, “wow, that is actually genius.”  It’s basically a vegan Big Mac in an egg roll.  Just as the title suggests, and it is damn delicious!
