Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Salt shredded cabbage, let sit 10 minutes, then squeeze out all water. Mix with pork and seasonings.
- 2
Place 1 tbsp filling on each wrapper. Wet edges, fold in half, and pleat one side to seal.
- 3
Spray dumplings on all sides with cooking spray.
- 4
Air fry at 380°F for 8-10 minutes, turning gently halfway, until golden and crispy.
- 5
Serve with soy-vinegar dipping sauce and chili oil.
Tip: Squeezing the water from cabbage is critical — wet filling makes soggy dumplings. Pleat only one side so the dumpling sits flat and gets a crispy bottom. These freeze beautifully — air fry from frozen, just add 3-4 minutes.
