Basic Ingredients

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s get started on making delicious pan-fried dumplings with a crispy outside and warm inside using your air fryer. Even without special ingredients, you can create a wonderful dish!
Step 2
Before frying, a crucial step for achieving extra crispiness is to coat the surface of the dumplings with cooking oil. Either place the dumplings in a wide bowl and gently toss, or use a pastry brush to meticulously coat all sides of the dumplings with cooking oil. This oil coating will help the dumpling wrappers turn golden brown and wonderfully crisp.
Step 3
Now, preheat your air fryer, then place the prepared dumplings inside and begin cooking. For the first stage, cook them at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Once the dumplings are partially cooked and the surface is starting to turn lightly golden, flip them over. Then, continue to cook at 180°C (350°F) for another 5 minutes. This will result in perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside pan-fried dumplings. (Please adjust the time and temperature according to your air fryer model.)
Step 4
Voilà! Your pan-fried dumplings are ready, with a golden, crispy exterior and steaming hot inside. These conveniently made dumplings are delicious on their own, even without a dipping sauce. They are best enjoyed immediately while warm. They make an excellent choice for late-night snacks, casual bites, or as an accompaniment to drinks!
