Air fried dumplings. © Hot Air Frying / 2016.

Make these using frozen Asian-style dumplings you buy in a packet from the store. The air fryer cooks them beautifully while you tend to something else, such as the noodle, rice or veg.

Serve hot, ideally with a sauce such as dumpling sauce or plum sauce or even just soy sauce.
