Chicken Rice Paper Dumplings
Make crispy chicken rice paper dumplings in just 30 minutes! Filled with teriyaki chicken and crunchy veggies, these easy air fryer dumplings are delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast sliced into strips
- ¼ cup carrots sliced
- ¼ cup cabbage sliced
- ¼ cup green onions sliced
- 1 tablespoon Teriyaki sauce
- 6 rice paper sheets
- 2 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds black and white
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan and sauté the chicken strips for a few minutes on medium heat until they are almost cooked.
- Add the Teriyaki sauce and apple cider vinegar to the pan and cook for another minute. Take off heat.
- Soak a rice paper sheet in large shallow bowl of water for 2 seconds.
- Remove and place on a chopping board. Sprinkle some sesame seeds near the bottom two-thirds and arrange some sliced veggies, followed by some of the cooked chicken.
- Fold the bottom of the rice paper sheet over the filling, followed by both the sides.
- Lift the almost-wrapped dumpling and continue rolling until it is nicely wrapped and shaped like a log.
- Set it aside and do this for all the rice paper rolls.
- Arrange in a greased Air Fryer basket and spray some cooking spray over it. Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown.
Notes
- Cut the chicken breast into thin, evenly sized strips so it cooks quickly and fits easily inside the rice paper wrappers.
- Make sure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F before assembling the dumplings, as the air frying step is mainly for crisping the wrappers.
- Let the cooked chicken cool slightly before assembling the dumplings, and avoid adding excess teriyaki sauce to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
- Dip each rice paper sheet in water for just 2 seconds. The wrapper will continue to soften as you add the filling, so avoid soaking it for too long.
- Use a lightly damp chopping board when assembling the dumplings to prevent the softened rice paper from sticking or tearing.
- Avoid overfilling the wrappers, as this can make them difficult to fold and cause them to split while cooking.
- Keep the vegetables thinly sliced and relatively dry to prevent excess moisture from making the dumplings soggy.
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket and brush or spray the dumplings with oil to help them develop a crispy, golden exterior.
- Arrange the dumplings in a single layer, leaving space between each one to prevent them from sticking together. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, or until the wrappers are lightly golden and crispy. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer.
- Add chili flakes, minced garlic, or grated ginger to the chicken filling for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce, spicy mayo, or your favorite Asian dipping sauce for the best texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in the air fryer until crispy and heated through to 165°F.
