Recipe for Dumplings with Cheese Filling, in 10 Minutes

• Make-ahead: You can prepare and shape the cassava balls in advance. Store covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours before frying.
• Freezer-friendly: Uncooked cassava balls can be frozen. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze solid, then transfer to a sealed bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the cooking time.
• Filling variations: Try adding chopped cooked bacon, herbs, or a mix of cheeses for variation.
• Reheating: To re-crisp leftovers, reheat in an oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes.

Crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside—these cassava bites are a crowd-pleasing savoury treat you’ll want to make again and again.
