I’m going to show you how to make my vegan Vietnamese Pizza recipe which only takes about 5-7 mins to cook and show you two tasty versions!
Vietnamese Pizza also known as Bánh Tráng Nướng, is a popular Vietnamese street food using grilled rice paper as the “pizza” base. You can customize this rice paper pizza for breakfast, lunch, a snack, or dinner!
This Vietnamese pizza recipe is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and nut-free!
There are a few different ways you can make Vietnamese pizza vegan. For this recipe, I’ll show how I made it using two different methods, both of which are delicious and perfect for breakfast or a quick snack!
Recipe for Vegan Vietnamese Pizza
Vietnamese Pizza traditionally consists of eggs cooked on top of grilled Vietnamese rice paper, along with various other toppings. So to make Vietnamese pizza vegan, I will show you how to make a vegan (plant-based) version using either scrambled tofu “eggs” or mung bean “eggs”.
To make vegan Vietnamese pizza (aka Bánh Tráng Nướng), you’ll want to get rice paper and choose which “vegan egg” version you’d like to make for your pizza based on the ingredients you prefer.
The first version is to make a simple tofu scramble and place the scrambled tofu on top of the grilled rice paper and add additional toppings like vegan mayo, sweet chili sauce, chopped green onions, sriracha, etc.
The second version (which feels more authentic) is to make a Mung Bean Egg and add it on top of the grilled rice along with additional toppings.
A third version, which I call the lazy version, or if you can’t get a specific ingredient, is to use a vegan egg product substitute like JustEgg to make vegan eggs to put on top of your rice paper and add toppings of choice.

How To Make Vietnamese Pizza (Vegan)
For Scrambled Tofu Version:
- Heat oil on a non-stick pan on medium-high heat and crumble up the tofu with your fingers and place it on the pan.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow most of the liquid to evaporate then add the desired amount of Scrambled Tofu Seasoning. Mix until well-coated. Set aside on a plate.
- Lightly wet one side of a piece of rice paper with a little water and stick another piece together. Place on the same pan, on medium-high heat, and use a spatula to stick the pieces together if needed.
- Place the scrambled tofu on top of the rice paper.
- Sprinkle on a little kala namak to add some eggy flavour. Drizzle on the desired amount of vegan mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce, and top with green onion.
- Add other toppings as desired. Grill the rice paper until it is crispy on the sides (for around 2-3 minutes).
- Fold in half if desired or simply serve as is. Enjoy right away!
For Mung Bean Egg or JustEgg Version:
- Prepare Mung Bean Egg according to instructions. If using JustEgg, skip this step.
- Heat oil on a non-stick pan on medium-high heat.
- Lightly wet one side of a piece of rice paper with a little water and stick another piece together. Place the pan on medium-high heat, and use a spatula to stick the pieces together if needed.
- Add about 2-3 spoonfuls of the vegan egg mixture on top of the rice paper and spread it with the spoon to create a thin layer of vegan egg.
- Cover with a lid and let it cook for around 2-3 minutes to allow the vegan egg and the rice paper to cook through.
- Once the vegan egg is no longer “wet”, sprinkle on a little kala namak to add more eggy flavour. Drizzle on the desired amount of vegan mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce and top with green onion.
- Add other toppings as desired.
- Fold in half if desired or simply serve as is. Enjoy right away!

My new favorite way of eating scrambled tofu. I can’t believe how delicious this is. Will try the mung bean version soon!
Tried the mung beans version yesterday and it cooked up really nicely on top of rice paper. I wasn’t sure if it would work but it was so good. I also added Vegan sausage which tasted amazing. I will eat this again tomorrow! So good!
