Ingredients
  

Dumplings
  • 1 package Frozen dumplings Choose a brand with thin wrappers; recommendations include Trader Joe's, Bibigo, Wei Chuan, or Synear.
Oil for Coating
  • 2 tablespoons Oil spray or brush Just enough for browning without soaking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer for a couple of minutes if your model runs cool.
  2. Lightly coat frozen dumplings with a light oil spray or brush.
  3. Place dumplings in a single layer with a little space between them in the air fryer basket.
Cooking
  1. Air fry the dumplings at 360-390°F (182-199°C) for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  2. Let the dumplings sit for 1 minute before eating to achieve maximum crispiness.

Notes

For the best results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket and use a light coat of oil for optimal crispiness. Leftover dumplings can be reheated in the air fryer for about 3-5 minutes at 350-370°F.
