Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Stir mung bean paste with sugar and vanilla until combined. Divide into 12 equal portions (about 1 tbsp each).
Step 3
Place one wrapper diamond-side-up. Add filling to center. Fold bottom corner up, then side corners inward, then roll to seal (like a burrito).
Step 4
Whisk egg with 1 tbsp water. Brush all over each pastry. Sprinkle sesame seeds generously on top.
Step 5
Arrange banh pia on prepared pan. Bake until golden brown and crispy, 12–14 minutes.
Step 6
Cool on the pan for 2 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
