Air Fryer Pork and Ginger Dumplings
Description
Homemade air fryer dumplings filled with pork, fresh ginger, and napa cabbage. Made from scratch, not frozen, and crispy in about 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground pork, not extra-lean
- 1 cup napa cabbage, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, for the cabbage
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 32 round dumpling wrappers
- Small bowl of water, for sealing
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Toss the cabbage with the salt and let it sit 10 minutes. Squeeze out as much water as you can in a clean towel.
- In a medium bowl, mix the pork, cabbage, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes until just combined.
- Keep the wrappers covered with a damp towel. Place about 2 teaspoons of filling in the center of a wrapper.
- Wet the edge with water, fold in half, and pinch to seal, pleating if desired. Press out any air. Repeat with the rest.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
- Spray the basket. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer, not touching, and spray the tops.
- Air fry for 5 minutes. Flip, spray again, and air fry 3 to 5 minutes more, until golden and the filling reaches 160°F.
- Rest 2 minutes and serve with dipping sauce. Repeat with remaining dumplings.
