Dumplings in an air fryer
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Pour the dumplings with sauce, place the casserole dish into the air fryer, and wait for the sound signal. Minimal effort, and you'll end up with a delicious and hearty meal that will surely find its fans. Don't have a casserole dish? No problem! You can use two small ones to prepare individual portions, or any suitable glass or ceramic dish with a lid. Sour cream can be replaced with heavy cream; feel free to add cheese, mushrooms, vegetables—everything depends on your imagination and preferences. The dumplings turn out tender and gently braised, just as good as if cooked on the stove or in the oven. When all you have at hand is an air fryer, this is a great way to satisfy the whole family's hunger. Serve the dish hot.
