Ingredients
- 1 small head of cabbage (finely chopped)
- 2 carrots (grated)
- 1/2 cup green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

How to Make
To start your journey to crispy cabbage dumplings, combine finely chopped cabbage, grated carrots, green onions, minced ginger, and garlic in a large mixing bowl. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing well to incorporate all flavors. This flavorful filling is crucial for your dumplings. Lay out a dumpling wrapper, placing a spoonful of the filling in the center. Carefully fold and seal the edges by wetting them slightly with water. Place the dumplings in your air fryer basket coated with cooking spray for optimal crispiness. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips
- Don’t overfill the dumplings to prevent breaking.
- Experiment with additional fillings like mushrooms or tofu!
- Adjust the seasoning based on your personal preference.
Make-Ahead
These dumplings are great for meal prep! You can assemble them ahead of time and store them in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to cook.
Storing
Store any leftover dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing
To freeze, arrange the dumplings in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer to a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheating
Reheat the dumplings in your air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. They’ll regain their crispy texture beautifully!
Serving Suggestions
Serve these crispy cabbage dumplings with a side of soy sauce or a spicy dip for an extra kick! They pair wonderfully with green salads or steamed vegetables.
