Chinese New Year is one of the most important and probably the most looking forward festival Chinese celebrate.
Chinese New Year is just less than a month away and almost everyone is busy with stocking up food, drinks and snacks for CNY. Festive goodies’ price also surge during this period and very cheap snacks can priced from $10 and above.
I have gathered a few easy Air Fryer recipes in this post, for a Healthier and Wealthier CNY ahead.
Truffle Crab Stick
The cost of 1 packet of chilled crabstick cost about $2.50. However, during CNY, a small tub of ready-fried ones can be found at $8 to $15 per bottle. Now, you can just make it at the comfort of your own kitchen.
Level of difficulty: 2/5
Cost: Approx. $ 2.50

Mini Fortune Pork Floss Roll
Crunchy, Sweet with a hint of Saltiness! One of the most commonly reach-out snack on the goodies table. Sold at a slightly pricier tag but who can resist buying and indulge in these little gems.
These mini rolls do come with a price – an effort to roll them before Air frying. A little bit of patience and time required.

Yes indeed unhealthy but once a year, we gotta pamper our guests and ourselves. Luncheon meat has always been on everyone favourite easy snacks for breakfast or a side to our simple fried bee hoon. Shave it to paper thin and air fried for the lightest, crunchiest and yummiest luncheon meat you had ever taste!

Paper Thin Seaweed Crisp
Cheapest and Easiest among the list of snacks. You can make like many tubs with 1 packet of small popiah skin! The only difficulties you might encounter when making this is.. the popiah is so light and thin that it might get caught up in the coil of the air fryer. Just be wary of it and use a tong to remove it from the coil if it happens.
Level of difficulty: 1/5
Cost: Approx. less than $1

Yum such a festive time of year. can’t wait to try some of these goodies. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome Alan! Its a period of feasting! Enjoy! 🙂
wow thanks for the wonderful ideas and recipes ,truly appreciate now living abroad at least can try to make them tks again.
You are welcome! 😊
Thanks for sharing, mind sharing on the air fryer temperature and duration settings for the mini pork floss spring roll?
No prob. 😊 preheat at 180 degree Celsius and fry it for 8 mins at 180 degree celsius or until golden brown
Why still hv to drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil after air Fried the yam or crab stick?
Hi Janet, that is truffle oil just to add in truffle taste to the yam and crabstick. However that is optional. You need normal oil to air fry. Truffle oil will just lose it aroma after frying. Thats why it is to add after air frying 😄
How to prevent the airfry item from flying up, hitting the heating coil & get burn, when it so light-weight. Pls advise. Thanks…..
Hi There, so far, only the Paper Thin Seaweed crisp showed signs of 2 or 3 pieces flying. You can prevent this by small wired mesh that can fit into the air fryer. This will top the food from reaching to the coil.
