Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

  • Mandu (larger): 12–14 minutes

• Flip or shake halfway through

• Dumplings are ready when golden brown and internal temp reaches 165°F

Step 4: Cool and Serve

• Let rest for 1–2 minutes (they will be hot inside!)

• Serve with dipping sauces and toppings

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip or Shake for Even Crisping

Keeps bottoms from overcooking and ensures golden texture all around.

Use Oil Spray for Extra Crunch

Helps mimic pan-fried finish without using a skillet.

Don’t Overcrowd

Air needs to circulate for best results—cook in batches if needed.

Let Cool Slightly Before Eating

Filling gets very hot—1–2 minutes resting prevents burnt tongues.
