One netizen remained optimistic and encouraged the poster: "This is great! I'm afraid that eating the whole dumpling will be too sweet, so I'll filter it out for you. If you want it to be sweet, dip it in sesame powder yourself!" In fact, many people share the same problem and don't know how to fry glutinous rice balls. : "I'm not alone... I saw people frying them, but I was too lazy to use air frying, and the result...", "Is this because there is no oil? I was planning to use the air fryer to make stuffed glutinous rice balls, and I can't help laughing when I see this.", "The first time I used 180 degrees for 8 minutes, it was as sandy as your dumplings! The peanut flavor didn't look delicious, but the second time I used 170 degrees for 6 minutes it was just right."
Other enthusiastic little chefs shared that the error-free way to air-fried glutinous rice balls is to wrap them in puff pastry first and then fry them: "The puff pastry on the outside will not break", "You cannot fry glutinous rice balls directly in the air fryer, they must be wrapped in puff pastry." "The air fryer is very easy to use. Use cheese slices to cut half a package of large dumplings, spread some egg yolk on top and fry for 15 minutes." "The more casual the pastry package, the better. It will feel like puffs." Have you ever eaten crispy fried glutinous rice balls?
