Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your wing sauce. In a pan, melt your butter on a medium heat. Continue to cook the butter until it turns a golden-brown colour, with lots of little brown flecks
Step 2
Add your miso paste, soy, honey, and chilli oil. Whisk until combined, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely. Once cooled and thickened, give it a whisk so everything is evenly dispersed
Step 3
Next, prepare your dumpling filling. Combine the pork mince, vegetables, and seasonings. Mix well. Fry a small piece of the mixture in a non-stick pan with a splash of oil, taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary
Step 4
Add a small amount of your filling to each dumpling wrapper. Dip your finger in some cold water, then trace around the edge of the dumpling wrapper
Step 5
Pleat the dumplings by pinching the end, then keeping one edge flat and folding a small pleat with the other side and pinching
Step 6
Repeat this process six or seven times, and then repeat until you’ve run out of wrappers. This recipe makes enough filling to have some leftover, so I’d recommend freezing it or just halving the measurements
Step 7
To make your sauces, whisk together your mayo, sesame oil, soy, and lemon juice. Set aside, then in a separate bowl combine your ponzu, soy sauce, chilli oil, and minced spring onion
Step 8
Diagonally slice your cucumber, and add to a bowl. Pour over sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, shichimi togarashi, and sesame seeds. Toss to combine, and set aside
Step 9
Pat dry your wings, season with salt and pepper, and lightly spray with cooking oil. Set your Ninja Foodi Max 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker OP450UK or Ninja Foodi 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker 6L OP300UK to air crisp, 190 C for 12 minutes. Flip, spray the other side with oil, then cook for another 12 minutes
Step 10
When the wings are golden brown and crispy, toss in the miso brown butter sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds, and serve with lemon wedges, sesame mayo, and the cucumber salad
Step 11
Wipe clean the air crisp basket, then add in a batch of your dumplings. Again, spray with oil, then air fry at 190 C for 12 minutes, flipping after 6 minutes. Garnish with spring onions and serve with your dipping sauce. Enjoy!
