Air Fryer Rice Paper Dumplings

1 tbsp avocado oil

14 ounces extra firm tofupressed and crumbled

8 ounces coleslaw mixshredded cabbage and carrot

4 ounces mushroomsdiced

3 green onionssliced

2 cloves garlicminced

1 tsp fresh gingerminced

1 tbsp tamari sauce or soy sauce if not gluten-free

1 tsp sesame oil

16 pieces rice paper

Sesame seeds to top

Press the tofu and prepare the vegetables. Warm a tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tofu and veggies and sauté until slightly softened. Stir in tamari sauce and sesame oil then remove from heat.

Make a dipping station with cold water and a damp plate or cutting board to wrap the dumplings on.

Working one at a time, dip each rice paper wrapper into the cold water for a few seconds to soften then place on your work surface.

Place a heaping tablespoon of the mixture in the middle of the rice paper. Fold the bottom half up to cover the filling, bring in the sides, then fold the top over to seal. Repeat with a second sheet of rice paper to double wrap.

Coat with cooking spray and top with sesame seeds. Air fry at 380F for 10-12 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Dumplings are done when they are brown and crispy!

Remove from air fry, let cool slightly, then serve with dipping sauce of choice.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Hydrate Rice Paper Strategically 💧
Dip rice paper in warm water for only 2-3 seconds until pliable but still slightly firm—over-soaking creates soggy dumplings that won't crisp properly in the air fryer.
Press Tofu Dry for Maximum Crispness 🤐
Wrap extra firm tofu in paper towels and press for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, ensuring better texture and allowing flavors to concentrate in your filling.
Toast Sesame Seeds Before Topping 🔆
Lightly toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before sprinkling on dumplings post-cooking to intensify their nutty flavor and enhance overall taste complexity.
Brush with Oil for Even Crispness 🎨
Lightly brush or spray dumplings with avocado oil on both sides before air frying at 380°F for 10-12 minutes—this creates golden, evenly crispy exteriors without excess oil.
Balance Umami with Sesame Oil Drizzle 🌟
Add a small drizzle of sesame oil and tamari to your dipping sauce just before serving rather than in the filling—this preserves the oil's aromatic qualities and prevents it from burning during cooking.
