Ingredients

1 Pack of Mila Beef Dumplings (frozen)

Chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish
A drizzle of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, or chili oil for dipping
A side of steamed bok choy or stir-fried vegetables for a balanced meal
A sprinkle of crushed red pepper or sriracha for extra heat

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even cooking while keeping the dumplings crispy and juicy inside.

Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Dumplings

Remove the dumplings from the packaging.
Lightly spray both sides with cooking spray to help them crisp up (optional).
Place the dumplings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch.

Step 3: Air Fry the Beef Dumplings

Cook at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
For Extra Crispiness: Increase temperature to 400°F for the last 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

Carefully remove the dumplings from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra flavor.

How to Serve Mila Beef Dumplings

Classic Asian Style: Serve with soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil.
Savory Upgrade: Pair with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.
Spicy Kick: Drizzle with sriracha or gochujang sauce.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Don’t overcrowd the basket—cook in batches if necessary.
For extra crispy dumplings, lightly spray them with oil before air frying.
Want a softer texture? Wrap them in foil and air fry for the first 5 minutes, then uncover for the last 5 minutes.
For added flavor, serve with a homemade dipping sauce of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
