Equipment

Air fryer

Ingredients

1 lb frozen potstickers, dumplings, or wontons
Oil spray

Dipping Sauce

2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha
½ teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sliced green onion
Toasted sesame seeds to top with

Instructions

Lightly spray air fryer basket with oil. Preheat at 350°F. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating function, simply turn it on at 350°F and let warm up for 3-4 minutes.
When hot, add about ½ of the bag to the basket. Make sure to not overcrowd the air fryer or else they won't crisp. Lightly spray dumplings with oil.
Air fry for 10-15 minutes, depending on your air fryer and the level of crispness desired. I take mine out at 10-11 minutes. Toaster oven style air fryers may need more time, about 5-10 more minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking.
Set first batch aside and dab with napkin to soak up excess oil if desired. Add second half of the bag and repeat. Serve warm.

Dipping Sauce

Whisk together all the ingredients. Season to taste and add water 1 tablespoon at a time to dilute if needed.

Notes

This recipe will work with any brand of frozen dumplings. I do not recommend using shu mai or xiao long bao (soup dumplings) as those are meant to be soft.
Storing Leftovers: Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing: You could re-freeze them again but the texture could change after you reheat them again. Lay the potstickers on a baking sheet in a single layer and with space in between each one. Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes until mostly frozen. Then store in a zip-top bag with as much air removed as possible. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Air fry again at 325°F for 5-8 minutes until crispy again or microwave until warm.
Substitutions/Variations:
- If you don't have spray oil, brush a little oil onto your air fryer basket and dumplings.
- Substitute Sriracha with chili oil or your favorite hot sauce. Make sure to add in a little sugar if needed.
- Try mirin instead of rice wine vinegar for a lighter finish.
- If you want a different kind of dipping sauce, try sweet chili sauce, ponzu, teriyaki, or sesame dressing.
- To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free dumplings like these Feel Good Foods Potstickers. For the dip, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Also double check the ingredients in the rice wine vinegar to make sure there isn't any cross-contamination.
