Pin Recipe
Make this frozen potstickers air fryer crispy but soft and succulent on the inside with these easy instructions that take no more than about 10-13 minutes.
Servings: 8
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 13 minutes
Total Time 18 minutes

Equipments:

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients:

  • 8 pcs Frozen potstickers or dumplings (in pork, chicken, vegetable flavors)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (or olive oil)

Dipping Sauce:

  • 3-4 tablespoon rice vinegar (adjust according to your taste)
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Chili oil
  • 1 tablespoon scallions
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger (optional)

Instructions:

  • Start by pre-heating the air fryer for 3 to 5 minutes. Take your pot stickers out of the freezer and put them in a bowl. Lightly drizzle with oil. My favorite oils for this are either olive or sesame. Oil the basket of your air-fryer too. Using a Misto sprayer to deliver the oil is perfect as it applies it in fine mist form.
  • Put your oiled potstickers into the oiled air-fryer basket. Don’t overlap them too much as any covered areas won’t cook evenly. Cook them at 350°F. After five minutes, give the basket a good shaking to move the dumplings a little to aid even cooking. There is no need to flip them.
  • After shaking the basket, carry on cooking for a further five minutes. Check to see if they are as crispy as you would like them to be. Depending on how many I am cooking and how crispy I want them, it takes between 10 and 13 minutes from start to finish.
  • Take the potstickers out and serve them with a dipping sauce.

Notes:

  1. You do not have to use oil when cooking potstickers in an air-fryer. However, in my experience, adding a little oil gets you a lovely golden, crispy sear outside.
  2. Don’t be tempted to defrost your potstickers before cooking. They cook better from frozen.
  3. If you get interrupted before eating, and your dumplings cool down too much, reheat them in your air-fryer for two minutes at 350°F.
