Sometimes it takes a good friend to point out the obvious. A few days ago I was complaining about the limited choices I have for lunch now that I am working from home because I don’t own a microwave. I can hear you all gasping but I hardly ever used it. It was taking up valuable kitchen real estate I would rather use for other things, like my air fryer, that I use all the time. When mine quit working, I never replaced it and until now never missed it.
My friend, Ess, said “why don’t you reheat things in your air fryer?” How come it took me 5 1/2 months of owning an air fryer to think of that?
Wonton Meatballs
From the Air Fryer Revolution cookbook
1 pound ground pork
2 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped green onion, white and green parts
1 TBS fresh minced ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, optional
In a large bowl, combine the pork, egg, cilantro, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt and pepper. Use your hands to completely mix the ingredients into the meat, about 2- 3 minutes.
For the meat mixture into 12 balls. Place the balls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Serve.

I made these today. The only ground pork I could find was prepackaged and was much moister and finer then butcher ground pork. When I mixed all ingredients, it was much to wet to form a ball so tossed in a bunch of panko bread crumbs to tighten it up. I use an Instant Pot Vortex Plus air fryer and have found I must increase recipe times and temps to acquire desired results. So I did the first tray at 375 for 12 minutes. The internal temp was close to 200 when done but the insides were very moist and the outside had a nice crunch. I had enough mix left over to make 5 more balls so did them at the prescribed 350 for 10 minutes. The internal temp ended up around 180. Other then being slightly lighter in color, I could not tell the difference between the two batches. I will have some for dinner tonight with a packaged teri yaki noodle dish and a couple of lazy man egg rolls that I made a while ago and froze. Bottom line. Delicious and makes enough to freeze some for the future. I will make again. In fact, I would buy them if my deli offered them.
