How to make it

Method

  1. Scramble and cool the eggs for Air Fryer Rice Paper Chive and Egg Dumplings

    Scramble and cool the eggs

    Heat 1 to 2 tbsp oil over medium heat. Whisk the eggs, pour them in and stir rapidly into tiny clumps. Cool completely; hot eggs make steam and soggy wrappers.

  2. Prep the chives and noodles for Air Fryer Rice Paper Chive and Egg Dumplings

    Prep the chives and noodles

    Wash and dry the chives thoroughly, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Soak the vermicelli in boiling water 2 to 3 minutes, drain very well and chop into small pieces.

  3. Mix the filling for Air Fryer Rice Paper Chive and Egg Dumplings

    Mix the filling

    Toss the chives with 1 tbsp sesame oil first so the oil seals them before any salt touches them. Then add the eggs, noodles, remaining sesame oil and seasonings. Divide into 8 portions of about 1/3 cup.

  4. Wrap twice for Air Fryer Rice Paper Chive and Egg Dumplings

    Wrap twice

    Dip one rice paper sheet in room-temperature water for 2 to 3 seconds; it should still feel slightly firm. Add a portion, fold the bottom up, tuck the sides and roll into a tight square parcel. Dip a second sheet and wrap again, seam side down. Use two sheets per dumpling to hold the filling.

  5. Air fry for Air Fryer Rice Paper Chive and Egg Dumplings

    Air fry

    Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Oil the dumplings generously and space them so they don't touch. Cook 5 minutes, flip, re-oil any dry white patches and cook 4 to 5 minutes more, until puffed, golden-blistered and rigid.

  6. Rest and serve for Air Fryer Rice Paper Chive and Egg Dumplings

    Rest and serve

    Rest on a wire rack 1 to 2 minutes so the bottoms stay crisp. Slice in half and serve hot with the dipping sauce.
