Pour 1/4 cup of very hot water into the bottom of the air fryer basket. The water will drip through the holes, creating steam for a softer dumpling texture.
Open the package of frozen Bibigo dumplings and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Set the air fryer to 350°F and cook the dumplings for 9 minutes.
While the dumplings are cooking, soften the included dipping sauce packet by placing it in a bowl of warm water.
Once the air fryer beeps, check to ensure the dumplings are golden and fully cooked.
Remove the dumplings from the air fryer, arrange them on a serving plate, and serve with the softened dipping sauce.
If you have a shelf-style air fryer, pour the hot water into a small heatproof dish placed inside the air fryer to create steam. This keeps the dumplings from becoming overly crunchy and ensures they cook perfectly.
