2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil use toasted sesame oil for bolder flavor
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Method

If needed, cook white rice by following instructions on the package. One cup of cooked rice is needed for the recipe.

PREPARE THE BULGOGI MEAT

Add chopped onions and vegan ground meat to a nonstick pan. You shouldn't need any additional oil because of the vegan meat, but add a touch of olive oil if needed.
Cook the "meat" and onions over medium heat until its starts to brown. About 5 minutes.
Grate ginger and chop garlic
Add to pan with "meat" and onion
Cook another 5 minutes
Grate pear
Add to pan
Chop cauliflower
Add to pan
Cook for another 2 minutes
Add the rest of the ingredients for "Bulgogi Beef" and cook for another few minutes until cauliflower is tender, but not mushy
Turn off heat and set aside

ASSEMBLE EGG ROLLS

Lay out egg roll wrapper on flat surface
Add 2 tbsp rice
Add 1/8th of the cooked bulgogi "meat"
Add 2 tbsp shredded Napa cabbage
Add 2 tbsp kimchi and 1/8th sliced green onion
Time to roll! Fold in sides of egg roll wrapper
Roll up the egg roll as tightly as possible without ripping it
Repeat for remaining egg rolls until they are all assembled

AIR-FRY

If you want a more golden outside, outside of egg rolls lightly with olive oil. This is completely optional, they crisp up fine without oil, they just don't look quit as pretty and are a bit drier
Place egg rolls in an air-fryer. Cook on high for 5-7 minutes or until crisp
Serve and enjoy! Don't for get the garlic chili sauce for dipping!
