Ingredients
- 1 package frozen potstickers
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 package of frozen potstickers, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and cooking spray.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures that the potstickers will cook evenly and get crispy.
- While the air fryer is preheating, take a large mixing bowl and combine the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir well to create a simple dipping sauce for the potstickers.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, remove the basket and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent the potstickers from sticking.
- Carefully place the frozen potstickers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be sure not to overcrowd them, as this can affect the cooking process.
- Cook the potstickers in the air fryer for about 10 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, around the 5-minute mark, shake the basket or gently flip the potstickers to ensure they brown evenly on both sides.
- After 10 minutes, check the potstickers. They should be golden brown and crispy. If they need a little more time, you can air fry them for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the potstickers from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate.
- Serve the potstickers hot with the soy sauce and sesame oil dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy your delicious and crispy air-fried potstickers!
Tips
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - give your potstickers breathing room for maximum crispiness.
- Shake or flip the potstickers halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Use cooking spray to prevent sticking and help achieve that perfect golden exterior.
- Keep an eye on cooking time, as air fryer temperatures can vary slightly between models.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces to customize your potsticker experience.
- If potstickers are still frozen, add 1-2 extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Let potstickers rest for a minute after cooking to prevent burning your mouth and allow the filling to settle.
