2 Servings

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 package frozen dumplings may also be called potstickers or gyoza
  • Spray Oil olive oil, avocado oil, or another mild flavor oil

Instructions

  • Remove the frozen dumplings from their outer packaging.
  • Place the frozen dumplings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in multiple batches if need be.
  • Spray the tops of the dumplings with oil.
  • Air fry at 360F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the dumplings are golden and heated through.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Most packages of frozen dumplings will come with a sauce that is also frozen. To thaw quickly, run it under room temperature water while the dumplings are cooking in the air fryer.
  • If you don’t have spray oil, you can place the dumplings in a bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons of oil before placing in the air fryer basket. Avocado is my oil of choice since it has a high smoke point.
  • Leave room between the dumplings for air to circulate. Do not stack them in the air fryer basket. 
  • This method will work with all varieties of standard size Asian dumplings. Some may take more or less time than others.
  • Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
  • Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfrying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
