Set the temperature to 350 and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until they are fully cooked. Remove and serve with dipping sauce.

Crowding: For best results, leave plenty of space around the pork shu mai, which will allow the hot air to freely circulate around the dumplings, cooking them up to perfection!

Flipping: Depending on the air fryer you are using, you may need to flip them halfway during the cooking process. This will enable both sides to cook up to perfection!

Preheating: I did find that preheating your air fryer before adding the pork shu mai, really helped them crisp up. The preheating gives a simple crispy exterior that tastes amazing!

Frozen: For best results, keep your Pork Shu Mai frozen until you are ready to air fry them up.
