- 50g broccoli

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for your delicious candy dumplings. Fresh ingredients are the first step to a great dish!
Step 2
Prepare the Seoul Milk Gouda cheese, one of the key ingredients for today’s recipe, known for its smooth texture and rich, savory flavor. This cheese will add a wonderful depth to the filling.
Step 3
Thoroughly wash one medium-sized sweet potato. You can leave the skin on if preferred. Place it in a steamer basket or a microwave-safe dish, cover with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes with a chopstick or fork. Microwave for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the sweet potato is very soft and easily pierced with a chopstick.
Step 4
Carefully remove the hot sweet potato from the microwave. Once it’s cool enough to handle, peel off the skin. It’s best to mash the sweet potato while it’s still warm for a smoother consistency. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash it thoroughly until there are no lumps. Mashing while warm is key to achieving a silky smooth texture.
Step 5
Finely mince the carrot and broccoli. You can use a grater or a knife for this. Make sure to mince them as finely as possible to ensure they blend well into the filling and are easy to wrap.
Step 6
In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato with the finely minced broccoli and carrot. Add the prepared seasonings: 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 0.5 tablespoon of condensed milk, 2 tablespoons of milk, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a little black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. Finally, tear the Seoul Milk Gouda cheese slices into small pieces and gently mix them into the filling. Be careful not to overmix, just combine gently so the cheese is evenly distributed.
Step 7
Once all the ingredients are well combined, your delicious sweet potato and cheese filling is ready! The sweet and savory aroma is already making your mouth water.
Step 8
Place an appropriate amount of filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Be careful not to overfill, as this can cause the wrapper to break. Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger. Fold the wrapper over the filling and roll it up like a candy. Pinch and twist both ends, or create pleats, to form a cute candy shape. Taking a little extra care with the shaping will make your candy dumplings even more appealing.
Step 9
Gently pinch and pleat the ends of the dumpling to create a classic candy shape. These whimsical dumplings are not only delicious but also fun to make, especially with children.
Step 10
Arrange the shaped candy dumplings on an air fryer tray, ensuring they have a little space between them so they don’t stick together. Lightly mist the dumplings with cooking oil. This step helps them achieve a beautiful golden-brown and crispy finish. (You don’t need to use a lot of oil.)
Step 11
Air fry at 190°C (375°F) for about 10 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the dumplings and your air fryer model. Once they are lightly golden and crispy, your cheese candy dumplings are ready! Get ready to enjoy their delightful crispy exterior and moist, flavorful interior.
Step 12
Your sweet and savory candy dumplings are now perfectly ready, whether as a delightful snack for kids or an elegant appetizer for a White Day celebration paired with wine. Enjoy a glass of wine with these delicious dumplings and have a wonderfully sweet and romantic White Day! 😀
