once you cut the onion, soak your blooming onion in water in the fridge for 24 hours to make it more pliable. That's how we used to prep them back in the day when I worked in the restaurant industry.

For the spring rolls you need to let them dry out before air frying. So after rolling, put them in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight, similar idea as the pork belly.

vietnamese here. me and my family make fried spring rolls all the time. We shallow fry them though, and with the addition of the air frier recently, i've been trying to fry them half way in oil then pop them in the air frier to finish. The air frier actually does a great job of getting some of the oil back out and drying up the rolls for a crispy finish.

The traditional double dip battering technique CAN work in the air fryer, you just need to flash freeze the food before you fry it. I've done this with chicken and shrimp. Works awesome, I've prepped a whole set of tenderloins and air-fried them throughout the week for salads/pasta.

I usually avoid new cooking channels bc im already following so much but your style really stood out! I like how you focus on the tips and tricks instead of just treating the Airfryer like some wonder machine

you can put the onion on cold water for a few minutes and it will spread the petals for better coverage

I use a pastry brush dipped in water to lightly coat both sides of my rice paper wrappers before adding filling which makes them just pliable enough to roll but ensures they won’t splatter oil all over the place when shallow fried. Never thought to use this method to air fry them but I’m thinking doing so may result in a crispier outside texture. I’ll give it a go (as soon as I purchase an air fryer) and report back.

This was an amazing lesson. Thanks for taking us along!

That pan lid is badass. Everything looked absolutely phenomenal

Love your air fryer experiments!

The jalapeno sauce is the star of the show here 😅

I love making spring rolls in the air fryer. But yes they're soggy and just not right. Then I saw that technic with making the sauce with corn starch for the filling and it works good. Thebpork belly looks really nice!

I tried a blooming onion once and I came to the conclusion that it might be even easier to just make onion petals. Same taste, but the individual petals make it easier to cook and get consistent

Hi! Just what I was looking for! I always wanted to tell you, if you think you're sensitive to gluten, do a celiac blood test. If it comes out negative, there is really no point in cutting back on it. It might even be unhealthy to cut back on gluten, as gluten free alternatives generally have less fiber.

Agree with your reply - I’m a coeliac myself, but there’s a lot of variability with people who do have a sensitivity to gluten and should avoid it. They should avoid it, but coeliacs HAVE to completely eliminate it. Both are sensitive to gluten, but to different degrees. Plenty of fibre in veggies and other foods too.

If you dont tighten up the rice paper roll that much, the paper wont break in process of cooking that easily and also you have to cooc them for less temperature for longer time for better crispy effect😁

This was super cool to watch. Thank you very much !

You went with dry breading for the blooming onion, it is a wet sauce they use to make it crispy, I would have been interested to see how well a wet sauce would have cooked, and it may have gotten into the parts the dry breading didn't? Although obviously it would be a little messy, so maybe dunk - cook - dunk again and cook? Love seeing these though, they give me good ideas and great to see how different methods turn out :))))

A longer cook on the corn ribs at a lower temp makes the cob cooked through and you can eat the whole thing.

Could you link that flexible lid you used during stir frying? That seems super helpful

Love your contents! It's so interesting and your recipes are so awesome and doable for a home cook. Thank you so much. I was wondering what kind of stand mixer is in the video. Your description box has an Amazon link but it shows the Kitchenaid stand mixer, which is different than the one shown in the video. Thank you so much.

I love the spring roll filling. I think I would have wrapped it in a wonton wrapper, though. Love your garden, too.

I made the spring rolls last night for dinner BEFORE watching your video. Chewy, yes. At first it put me iff, but I devoured them. I like the idea of double wrapping them. I’ll try that.

Thanks love new air fryer content.

I LOVE the brown eyed baker. Also, air fryer corn ribs are so good sometimes that’s all I serve. Me and my family love it.

Good stuff. I'll try these recipes in my new air fryer which has changed my life because I don't have a microwave. Lol. Thanks. I love rice paper spring rolls. 🎉

Have you tried the silicon inserts for the air fryer? Curious on your opinion, do you think they would heat the food enough on the bottom, I know the heat needs to circulate, but I got some racks that go inside them too, so hoping for things like the pork belly it will have some great results.

Yeah the spring rolls are a weird one, you can't just power through all that water on the rice paper like you can with deep frying. Could try using a hot damp towel, instead of dipping, on one side and letting the rolls dry out in the fridge a bit before cooking.

I'll def check out doing up some BBQ corn! I make air-fried spring rolls quite often ! Good stuff!

That filling at 15:30 looks absolutely delicious. Edit: getting the rice paper crispy would be a challenge for sure. Rice paper wraps are just so chewy and delicate, would have popped wide open in a deep fryer for sure.

lactofermented jalapeños are so delicious! try em!! Id love to see a video on that

For the blooming onion, try a batter instead (but not too runny), put it in Mason jar, dunk the onion in. I haven't tried, but the approach just popped into my head

All the people I’ve seen do the blooming onion before have used batter

Friend sent your video to me specifically for the pork belly as I make this. Holy grail for cooks to make this at home, once you've had this from the BBQ shops in China town. Technique you used is similar to many videos I've seen...from the aluminum foil tray to hole poking with metal skewers. This produces a reasonably good product. Others will put salt cap on the skin +/- vinegar. All seem to work. Only issues I have with this method is there can be a lot of oil spitting and a fair bit of smoke. Thanks for the video.

I recommend using hoisin sauce as a condiment for the air fried pork belly. sauce gives a velvety mouth feel without the added fat. unless you can't have sugar. choose your poison.

Makes me think that tossing the spring rolls into the dehydrator (or uncovered in the fridge overnight) after rolling up and letting the exterior get really nice and dry might puff them up better. I recall recipes frying dry rice paper to make rice puff "chips", might be able to pull off something similar here.

I've just eaten a spaghetti bolognaise but this still made my mouth water.

The porkbelly (siu yuk / siu juk / 燒肉) makes sense, it's usually made in the oven anyways. Might try that as I've never made it in an air fryer before.

Hey I got an idea. What vi you use bakingsoda on the big onion beforehand? it should help the ph would have an effect on the tenderness perhaps making it more palatable.

For all my stir fry, after the initial oil frying (only enough to get the frying going well), I always end with steaming the veggies in pineapple juice. The hint of sweet taste has never let me down and the oil to stir fry has been reduced a lot. Thanks.

for the fried spring rolls, we usually use a different type of wrapper. I don't know what it's called bc my mom gets them from the asian supermarket, but they're more a a tan color (probably have some wheat in them because they bubble up and crisp)

Probably marketed as spring roll wrappers. If frozen, they are a real pain if you only want a few sheets. The slices come as one block.

For the rice paper spring rolls, try letting them sit on a cooling rack to dry out before air frying.

Pork belly with seasonings used for porchetta sandwiches in Italy would be a nice try.

My ex-aunt (my uncle's ex-wife) is Vietnamese. And she taught my mother to make what's essentially a fried spring roll that she called a pork roll. My sister a couple of years back made them in the air fryer (after we've only ever had them deep fried over the years). And they were AMAZING.

Kimchi for the best pork belly condiment. Or even better, go all the way and use that for bo ssam

Those donuts look really good (!!) for home made (thinking vs. commercial made).

Brush the doughnuts with butter before and after baking. You well get a doughnutier feeling.

I’m going to have to figure out a small batch recipe on the donuts. One thing on making donuts at home. The ATK Family Cookbook says to just do donut holes at home. I make them maybe once a year, but I just make largish donut holes which is less work but taste just as good.

Bbq ribs cutoff the bone and make a batch of southern greens then make egg rolls sounds interesting!

What pans are you using in this video?

I will be trying *all* of these! Brill! btw - do you fancy doing the Friday live streams again?

I love my air fryer, it's a great small appliance that'll cook a lot of food without needing to turn on the big oven. That being said, it's not a substitute for deep frying, you get closer to something you'd pan fry. I make a great schnitzel in mine. The key is to go for a breading rather than a deep frying batter, I'll pulse some panko crumbs to a finer texture and mix it with some coarser panko crumbs and bread it with that. The trick is to spritz it with oil and flip it a couple of times.

The traditional Vietnamese spring rolls are actually made with rice papers. There are numerous variations, but generally they are called "chả giò" in the South, "chả ram" in the Central region, and "nem" in the North - which is the general word used in France as well as in French speaking countries to denote spring rolls. Vietnamese nems were imported into Sénégal in during the French colonial days and now nems are part of Sénégalese cuisine (French Africa - including North Africa - has traces of Vietnamese cultural legacies). The lumpia skin Vietnamese egg rolls seen in the US started in the seventies as rice papers were non-existent at that time. There are pre-fried Vietnamese rice paper spring rolls that the air-fryer can crisp up pretty well.

there's a powdered buttermilk you could add into your flour for the flavor

Can you ferment ginger in honey ? Like your garlic 😊😊

The fried spring rolls I've eaten are usually 3 times smaller than the ones you made. Yours look much more like summer rolls. I think usually they just add up a lot more layers of the rice paper and a lot less filling, so it doesn't fall apart/ get soggy. I think I'd actually like the air fried ones, since I don't like spring rolls because they are too oily.

Ok if you ever try to make a pork belly again, try the danish “flæskesteg” version where you score the skin in rows so they becomes super crispy. And then you can make a rue based sauce from the fat called brown sauce (directly translated)

Worked at Outback for 17 years...They cut and then soak their onions in an ice bath in the fridge for days before they deep fry then after cooked they use a special tool that pulls the core out...

Anyone know What is the table top stove top used???? I like that it had a little flame like natural gas stove top. Thank you!

@prohomecooks I'm happy you've seen the light and bought the ankarsrummër - but you neeeeeed to use the dough knife too

the port belly, as any with thick fat skin layer - must be cooked first, then fried. Either you make it pressure cooking or you just air fry upside down on lower temperature for longer time, then turn back and fry the upper skin layer

I do not have a sweet tooth at all but super impressed with the donut. My daughter caught a glimps and wanted one 🤣

Ive never tried a blooming onion, but if it works for you, im making one. You were concerned about the evenness of the breading. Coating it the same way with the breading same way as you use shake n bake would likely work better

I bet those corn ribs would be good seasoned with Mexican Tajin for the seasoning and then a bit of mayo or crema drizzled on after frying!

I would be very interested to see you try the blooming onion again, maybe just in a short or something unless you can come up with other "second attempts" to throw together in a full video, but this time instead of trying to keep the presentation intact with the onion whole, maybe just like quarter it and batter each individual "petal" and throw them in that way, a few shakes throughout the cook for consistency. It's not necessarily the shape and form factor that makes me love them, you may be able to get closer on taste and texture that way.

If you don't want the corn to curl over as much you can shove a wooden skewer down their length, this also lets you cook more at once since you don't have to account for the curling.

what oil spray is that? all non-propellant oil sprays i’ve seen reviewed say the spray isn’t great, but the one you use looks fine.

First things I cooked in an air fryer was some potatoes and fish (tilapia) without oil or anything, they both came out amazing.

Suggestion... Cook your onion in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 15 to 20 minutes.

I do corn ribs, cauliflower burnt ends, and pulled trumpet mushrooms for a vegan barbecue spread (plus smoked dino ribs for everyone else)

I've done the corn and some pork belly before. The corn was okay but I would need a good seasoning for them. Plus I don't like the way that you have to cut them in half, it can be dangerous. My pork belly wasn't the widest cuts so they curled up like 2 inch wide pieces of bacon. Still delicious! I've been eyeing larger pieces of pork belly at Costco. I'll probably pick one up soon.

Protip with he pork belly. Run boiling water over the skin side. It helps make it very crispy.
