Helpful Hints
- Olive oil or vegetable oil works well for air frying.
- Use your Air Fryer to cook pre-packaged foods with a fraction of the oil, in a fraction of the time! As a general rule, lower the recipe baking temperature by 50ºF and reduce the cooking time by 30% to 50% depending on the food and amount.
- Do not overfill the frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying basket more than 2/3 full. When air frying fresh vegetables, we do not recommend adding more than 3 cups of food to the frying basket.
- For best results, some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over during the air fry time. Consult the Air Frying Chart as a general guide.
- To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high-fat foods, such as chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.
- Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.

Ming Air Fryer Recipes
Teriyaki Chicken with Roasted Cauliflower
- 2 6 oz. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 head of cauliflower cut into small florets
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, optional
- Mix together: teriyaki sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, and pepper, pour all but about 3 tablespoons on the chicken and set in the refrigerator to marinate. Turn your Ming Tsai Air Fryer on to 400 degrees and set the timer for 5 minutes to preheat. Toss cauliflower in reserved teriyaki sauce. When your Air Fryer is preheated, add the cauliflower to the bowl, close, and set the timer for 10 minutes. When the timer goes off, stir the cauliflower then remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and lay them on top of the cauliflower. Set the timer for 10 more minutes (longer if the chicken breasts are larger). When timer goes off, serve.
Pizza Bites
- 1 package of premade biscuit dough (tube) Pepperoni
- 16 mini mozzarella balls or block mozzarella cut into 1” cubes
- Separate the biscuit dough and cut each in half. Using your hands, flatten each half biscuit into ¼” thick rounds (will fill the palm of your hand). Add 1 piece of pepperoni, a cube of cheese and top with another piece of pepperoni. Gather the edges of the dough around the cheese and pinch them together to seal shut. You should end up with a ball of dough. Preheat your Air Fryer to 325 for 5 minutes. Working in batches, add dough balls to your Air Fryer and cook at 325 for 8 minutes. Let cool slightly before eating.
