Korean Air Fryer Recipes, this article will give you ideas. Air frying uses hot air, which helps cooking instead of frying oil. As a result, it's a healthier way to prepare meals without sacrificing flavor or texture.

Learn how to make Korean Air Fryer Recipes with this easy step-by-step guide that includes:

What are Air Fryers?

Air fryers are electric appliances that use hot air to circulate food in a small chamber to cook meals without adding oil or fat. The hot air circulates through the room to cook food at high temperatures (400°F - 450°F). It means food cooks faster than if cooked in an oven or over a stovetop on the stovetop itself.

If you're not a big potato fan, there's good news. Sweet potatoes can work as well in these recipes. They are healthier than their white-fleshed counterparts and full of vitamins A and C.

But they also have more fiber and fewer calories. This recipe calls for sweet potato tater tots—a great alternative to regular fries if you're looking for a lower-calorie snack.

Ingredients

  1. Two large sweet potatoes (about 1 pound)
  2. 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  3. Two eggs, beaten with one teaspoon of water
  4. Salt and pepper

How to Cook:

Preheat the Fryer to 350 to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Peel sweet potatoes; cut into chunks about 1/2 inch long by 3/4 inch wide by 3/8 inch thick (1 centimeter).

Put into a medium bowl; sprinkle with two tablespoons of flour while gently tossing until coated. In another bowl, combine the remaining flour with seasoning salt or pepper mix; beat eggs in the third bowl until frothy using a wire whisk or fork.

Pat dry sweet potato pieces to absorb more batter later on during the frying process (this will keep homemade chips crispy longer than those made from fresh raw potatoes.) Dip each piece into the egg mixture, then toss again in the seasoned flour until evenly coated on all sides.

Place on prepared baking sheet spaced out evenly apart so there will be room between them when baked later

This panko chicken recipe calls for chicken pieces that have been flattened, which makes it quick and easy to make. If you don't eat gluten, use crushed, crisp rice cereal squares instead of panko crumbs.

Prep: 10 mins

Cook: 5 mins

Total: 15 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  2. Two eggs
  3. 1 cup panko crumbs
  4. ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  5. ½ Green Onion
  6. One teaspoon of Onion Powder
  7. ½ teaspoon Salt
  8. ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  9. ¼ cup Corn Oil

Cooking Steps

In a bowl, combine two beaten eggs and two tablespoons of water.

In another bowl, mix flour and panko breadcrumbs.

Dredge each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, then cover it with the breadcrumb mixture until completely coated. Place on a plate and set aside until ready to fry in your air fryer basket.

Once your basket is filled with chicken pieces (we recommend about 6-8), place them into your air fryer for 3 minutes at 360 degrees F/182 degrees C on high heat or 5 minutes on low heat if you like softer chicken breasts. 

Once finished cooking, remove from the basket onto paper towels to absorb any excess oil and cool down before serving. We recommend making these ahead because they're best eaten when they're fresh out of the Fryer.

10. Korean Oriental Egg Rolls in an Air Fryer (Healthier Version)

Korean Oriental Egg Rolls in an Air Fryer (Healthier Version)
  • Save

The egg roll is a beloved dish all over the world. Something about that crispy outside and soft, savory interior make people swoon. But what if your favorite restaurant doesn't have an air fryer? Here's how to make them at home.

What You Need:

  1. 2 cups of cooked shrimp (or 2 pounds of raw shrimp)
  2. 1/2 cup chopped scallions
  3. 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves and stems (1 bunch of cilantro)
  4. Three tablespoons of soy sauce.

How To Cook :

Mix eggs

Beat eggs with salt and pepper after mincing carrot and Green onions. Mix the carrot and scallions into the eggs. While the pan heats, set aside the bowl.

Low-heat-roll eggs

Pour enough egg mixture to cover the base of a hot nonstick pan. Eggs should firm up over low heat.

After the eggs are set and about 75% done, roll them to the right side of the pan and push them to the left, as indicated. Form a second thin layer with the remaining egg mixture.

This second layer is more rolls to make a great omelet. Watch the above video for instructions.

Roll the first omelet onto the second layer after it's set. You'll wind up with one bigger omelet.

When the omelet is all rolled up, let it sit for a few minutes on a cutting board so that any uncooked egg can finish cooking in an air fryer, and the omelet can cool down before you cut it. Then, cut them into broad, thick slices and serve.

11. Korean Plantain Chips

Korean Plantain Chips
  • Save

An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that uses hot air to cook food. It's a great way to prepare meals without using oil or grease.

This cooking method works well with plantains because they can be used as the base for other types of snacks, like candied bananas and caramelized bananas (more on these later). Below we'll show you how easy it is to make these tasty treats in your air fryer.

Cooking Process

Cut each plantain into 1/4-inch slices lengthwise and place them on the tray with nonstick spray or coconut oil (optional).

Turn on your Fryer at 400 degrees F and allow it to heat up while preparing the chips by placing some more coconut oil over the top before adding another layer of sliced fruit, followed by another layer of oil until all has been used up; cover with foil if desired but keep in mind that you'll need less time cooking since there won't be any moisture coming out from underneath.

Cook for about 10 minutes without peeking or opening the door until done--this usually takes longer than expected due to thickness, so keep checking every few minutes until browned evenly throughout, using tongs as needed.

Recipes to try using Korean Air Fryer FAQs:

1. How do I make my Airfryer crispy?

The best way to make your air fryer crispy is to use a nonstick surface such as Teflon or silicone. If you don't want to invest in these materials, then try using vegetable oil instead of regular olive oil.

Also, be careful when cleaning your air fryer after cooking; avoid getting any food particles stuck inside the machine since they could cause damage.

2. How do you make Samgyupsal in an air fryer?

If you want to make Samgyupsal in an Air Fryer, you first need to boil water for ten minutes. Then, add some salt to the boiling water, and stir until all salt is dissolved. After that, drain the boiled water from the pan, and put the rice into the boiling water. Cook for about 20 minutes, and serve.

3. Can you put egg battered chicken in an air fryer?

Yes! This method works best for small pieces of food like chicken tenders. The key is to use a nonstick surface such as parchment paper. Also, be careful not to let grease drip onto the meat when using aluminum foil.

4. How long does it take to fry chicken in an air fryer?

The cooking times for frying chicken depend on how thick the pieces are cut. If they are thin, it takes about 10 minutes; however, if they are thicker, it could take up to 20 minutes.

5. Is cornstarch or baking powder better for crispy chicken?

The answer to this question depends on how much salt you add. If you use too little salt, then you may need to use baking powder instead of corn starch.

However, if you use too much salt, then you should definitely use corn starch since it absorbs less water.

6. Should I boil my chicken before frying it?

Boiling chicken is not necessary for frying. However, cooking chicken until done inside is recommended first, then removing it from heat.

This way, the meat will be cooked through when the oil reaches temperature. If you put the raw chicken into hot oil, it will likely burn due to high temperatures.

7. Can you put raw chicken in an air fryer?

Yes, you can put raw chicken in an Air Fryer for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat from the air fryer cooks the meat while keeping it juicy.

This method works best when cooking chicken breast pieces; however, using whole chickens is also okay.

8. Is Korean fried chicken healthy?

Yes, Korean fried chicken is healthier than other types of fast food. However, I recommend avoiding deep frying foods at all costs, especially when they contain high amounts of saturated fat.

9. What is in the Korean frying mix?

The ingredients for making Korean fried chicken include flour, water, salt, sugar, shortening, egg powder, soy sauce, garlic, onion, ginger, pepper, sesame oil, and other spices.

10. What is Korean fried chicken batter made of?

The main ingredients for Korean fried chicken batter are cornstarch, soy sauce, sugar, salt, baking powder, and vegetable oil.

Conclusion

An air fryer is a powerful tool, and there are so many things you can do in your air fryer. You can cook Korean food. You can make your Korean-inspired dishes at home with an air fryer.

You don't have to sit around waiting for takeout or delivery. Still, you also get all of the deliciousness of authentic Korean cuisine while saving money and time on laborious cooking methods like steaming or boiling.
