  • 1
    Prepare the filling

    Heat a small amount of oil in a pan and sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, then add cabbage and carrot and cook for 3–4 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper, then let the mixture cool completely.

  • 2
    Soften the rice paper

    Fill a large bowl with warm water and dip each rice paper sheet for 5–8 seconds. Place it on a clean, flat surface.

  • 3
    Assemble the dumplings

    Add 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center and fold like an envelope or roll tightly. For extra crispiness, try using double rice paper layers.

  • 4
    Air fry

    Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the dumplings in a single layer without overcrowding and lightly brush or spray with oil. Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

    Pro Tips

    Do not oversoak the rice paper as it becomes too fragile, and always use oil spray for a golden finish. Let the dumplings rest for 1–2 minutes after cooking; for extra crunch, cook for 8 minutes, let them rest, then cook for 3 more minutes.
