⏱ 45 min total🔪 22 min prep🔥 22 min cookMediumServes 4Korean

Ingredients

  • 24 round mandu or dumpling wrappers
  • 7 oz firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
  • 1 cup napa cabbage, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sweet potato glass noodles, cooked and chopped
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • as needed neutral oil spray

Directions

  1. 1Squeeze chopped cabbage firmly in a towel, then mix with tofu, shiitakes, noodles, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  2. 2Place 1 tablespoon tofu filling in each dumpling wrapper, moisten the rim, fold into a half-moon, and pleat tightly.
  3. 3Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 3 minutes and mist the basket before adding the tofu mandu.
  4. 4Arrange 12 mandu in one layer, spray the tops lightly, and air fry 9–11 minutes without shaking.
  5. 5Turn the mandu after 6 minutes and continue until both sides are crisp and the wrappers are browned at the edges.
  6. 6Cook the remaining 12 mandu in a second batch and serve hot.

💡 Squeezing the napa cabbage matters more than adding extra binder; trapped cabbage water makes the filling loose and can soften the wrappers from inside.
