To make this delicious Air fryer Prawn dumplings, you’ll need the following ingredients:

250g prawns, peeled and deveined
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 spring onions, finely chopped
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil
Salt not required if using light soy sauce
Rice paper wrappers (around 6-7 depending on the size of filling inside)
More Sesame oil for brushing on the wrapped balls.

Step 1: Prepare the Prawn Filling

In a food processor, put raw Prawns, Spring onions, Garlic cloves, Soy sauce and Sesame oil, grind everything together to make a thick sticky paste.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl.

Step 2: Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers

Fill a shallow dish or a large plate with some water.

Cut Rice papers in halves. You may also cut them after dipping in water.

Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5 seconds until it softens but still holds its shape. Place it on a clean surface.

Step 3: Fill and Fold the Dumplings

Place a spoonful of the prawn filling in the center of the softened rice paper wrapper.

Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 4: Air Fry the Dumplings

Lightly brush the air fryer basket with Sesame oil to prevent dumplings from sticking.

Arrange the prawn dumplings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.

Lightly brush the tops of the dumplings with Sesame oil.

Air fry the dumplings at 180°C (360°F) for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Once done, carefully remove the prawn dumplings from the air fryer.

Serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as soy sauce mixed with Sesame oil, Freshly chopped red chili or Minced garlic.

In 10 minutes time or even less you can make this healthy seafood dinner for your family and kids will love them.

Pro tip: Spray or brush a light coat of oil on the dumplings before placing them in the air fryer. This helps achieve a golden and crispy texture.
Pro tip: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer with a little space between each one to allow for proper air circulation.
Pro tip: Do not dip rice papers in water for long as they will become soggy.

Storing Leftover Dumplings

Storing rice paper dumplings properly is essential to maintain their texture and flavor. Here are steps on how to store rice paper dumplings:

Cool Completely: Allow the rice paper dumplings to cool completely to room temperature after cooking or assembling.

Avoid Moisture: Moisture can make the rice paper wrappers sticky and cause them to tear. Ensure that the dumplings are not touching each other during storage to prevent sticking.

Refrigeration: If you plan to consume the dumplings within a day or two, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper between the layers of dumplings to prevent sticking.

Freezing: Rice paper dumplings do not do well freezing uncooked. However, you can freeze them after you air fry them. Arrange them in a single layer. Place them in the freezer until firm. Once frozen, transfer the dumplings to a freezer-safe bag or container. Frozen cooked dumplings can be stored for up to 1 month.

Reheating: To reheat refrigerated or frozen rice paper dumplings, you can steam them, microwave them briefly with a damp paper towel to prevent drying out, or air fry them again until heated through and crispy.

By following these storage tips, you can enjoy rice paper dumplings at their best quality whether you’re preparing them ahead of time or storing leftovers. Adjust the storage method based on whether the dumplings are cooked or uncooked and your preferred timeline for consumption.
