Crispy bulgogi rice paper rolls wrap sweet-savory Korean marinated beef, melty mozzarella, scallions, and sesame seeds in egg-dipped rice paper, then air fry until the shell shatters.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 oz beef rib eye, thinly sliced
- 1/4 onion, sliced
- 1 cup bulgogi sauce
- 2 sheets rice paper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 scallion, chopped
- 1 tbsp white sesame seeds
- vegetable oil, for cooking
Equipment
Instructions
- Marinate the beef. Combine the bulgogi sauce, beef, and onion in a freezer bag, making sure everything is well coated. Marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Cook the beef. Using tongs, transfer the beef and onions to a large frying pan over medium heat, leaving most of the excess sauce behind in the bag. Cook until the juices reduce, then move everything to a plate.
- Egg-dip the rice paper. Pour the beaten eggs into a pan wide enough to fit the sheets. Dip both sides of each sheet, then lay them on a cutting board overlapping by about a third.
- Fill the rolls. Arrange the cooked beef in a line down the center, then top with the mozzarella, scallions, and sesame seeds.
- Roll it up. Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling like an enchilada, peeling carefully if it sticks, seal the ends, and roll it up snug like a burrito.
- Air fry. Place each roll seam-side down in the air fryer, brush or spray with vegetable oil, and cook at 375F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until blistered and golden.
Notes
- Plan for 2 hours of hands-off marinating before you start cooking.
- Leave the excess marinade in the bag; a wet filling steams the wrapper and stops it from crisping.
- Overlap two rice paper sheets for a sturdier roll that will not tear.
- Do not overfill, or the cheese leaks out as it fries.
- Let the rolls rest a minute after air frying; they crisp up more as they cool.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer, not the microwave, to bring back the crunch.
