These Vegan Korean Beef Egg Rolls are the perfect party appetizer! Baked until crispy and served with sriracha mayo on the side for dipping!
I am on a mission to give you the BEST vegan game day snacks. Because even if you don’t like watching the Super Bowl, we can all get behind some delicious snacks. And these Vegan Korean Beef Egg Rolls are super tasty – the filling is delicious, the outside is crispy, and the dipping sauces bring it all together. These are a must make!
Step One: Make the Filling
The filling for these egg rolls is a take on my Korean Beef Bowls recipe. A simple combo of ingredients that is so freaking tasty!
Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl. Add the beef crumbles, sauce, garlic & green onions to a bowl and mix to combine.
If you don’t like vegan beef crumbles, you could sub cooked lentils.
TIP: I placed my sauce in the microwave for 30 seconds to help the sugar dissolve.
Step Two: Assemble & Bake
To assemble, add 2-2.5 tablespoons of the beef mixture to each wrapper. Add a little kimchi and a couple pieces of carrot. Brush the edges of the wrapper with water and roll up (like a burrito). Place on the baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients and spray the rolls with oil. Place in the oven for 10 minutes, flip and cook for another 10 minutes. They should be nice and crispy!
TIP: You can also cook these in the air fryer. Place the egg rolls in the air fryer, spray with oil and cook at 400 for 12-15 minutes, flipping after 6 minutes.
Step Three: Serve
Pull the egg rolls out of the oven and serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I like to use sriracha mayo (just mix vegan mayo & sriracha) and sweet chili sauce. Gives you a nice balance of spicy, creamy & sweet!
These are best served right away, but you can also reheat the vegan egg rolls in the oven or air fryer!

Made these for the Super Bowl for a party full of non-vegans and people FLIPPED OUT. I doubled the recipe and made them small so there was a ton of them and they were still the first thing gone. It was insanity.
hahaha I love it!!! So glad they were a hit Vic!
These were so good. I would absolutely make them again. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
I have 2 questions … first, is there a way to keep the inside more moist? It had great flavor, but not the juiciness I expected. Second, do you have a recipe on how you prepare the lentils? Most of your recipes have links to other recipes, but when I search your site all of them were for other recipes that have already cooked lentils in them. I’m wondering if since I wasn’t 100% sure how to prepare the lentils, if they sucked up the moisture & cooking them like you do could solve both my questions.
I always use pre-made lentils – so they do have some liquid attached to them in the bag they come in. You could always add an extra tablespoon of oil to keep them more moist. So glad you liked them!
These are awesome! We all loved them! Thanks!
Yayyyy! Thanks so much Kara!
Fixin’ to make these for the Super Bowl. I feel silly asking but do you brown the beef crumbles before continuing on with the recipe?
I didn’t cook it! Just straight from the fridge!
These were delicious and a huge hit in our family. The only complaint I got was that I didn’t make more!
Haha love it! So glad everyone enjoyed it!
