Do You Have An Air Fryer?
There was definitely a period of time while we were living in the apartment that I was using my air fryer almost everyday. Now, that we’ve moved into the house, I had packed it in my pantry and kind of forgot about it. Until today.
Air fryers are a great way to get crispy, crunchy “fried” foods without all the fat and oil and without actually frying anything. I have the air fryer made by Instant Pot but there are a ton of great air fryer brands out there!
Air Fryer Dumplings
This is quite possibly the easiest and most delicious snack, or meal, ever! I love eating dumplings (mandu) and my favorite way to cook them is probably pan frying. The only problem with pan frying is – I have to use a lot of oil and time if I want them really crispy. With the air fryer, I literally brush on a little oil, put them in, press a few buttons and they are done. It can’t get any easier than that. Hope you try the recipe!
