How to Re-Heat Air Fryer Frozen Dumplings
Air fried Frozen dumplings or pot stickers are fantastic! Wow, it’s so easy to re-heat frozen dumpling in the air fryer and it’s even easier to eat them quick. They’re so addicting, so be ready to eat a whole bag and don’t be surprised. Just remember that you need to add oil spray on top of the frozen dumplings so that they cook crispy and not dry. If you don’t oil them enough, the wrappers will be dried out, tough and white while you try to cook the frozen insides. Basically you want to make sure the outside stays nice and crispy golden and cooked perfectly on the inside.

Air Fried Frozen Potstickers, Dumplings, Gyoza, Wontons ? Are they the same thing?
Potstickers, dumplings and gyoza are all basically the same style and shape when you buy them frozen. There’s so many variations on what different brands call their product. But generally potstickers, dumplings and gyoza are the same. There’s some brands that vary in styles that are more specific like siu-mai or steamed bun shapes. Those vary a lot in size and thickness, so you have to adjust cooking times accordingly. Here’s a visual guide to different dumpling shapes.

Air Fryer Frozen Dumplings (Gyoza, Potstickers)
Ingredients
- 12 Frozen Dumplings
- oil spray , to coat the dumplings
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Instructions
- Place the frozen dumplings in the air fryer basket and spread out into a single even layer. Spray liberally with oil to completely coat the dumplings.

Notes
- Cook Frozen - Do not thaw first.
- Turn as needed. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket.
- Recipe timing is based on a non-preheated air fryer. If cooking in multiple batches back to back, the following batches may cook a little quicker.
- Recipes were tested in 3.7 to 6 qt. air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, they might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.
- Remember to set a timer to flip/turn as directed in recipe.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).

We air fried a batch of pork ones for dinner and they were great! Next time i’ll add a little more oil spray so we don’t get dry spots. But still healthy!
I was curious to see how they would come out before stumbling upon your website. Glad to see that it comes out great, even from frozen! Over the summer, I tried air frying my homemade lumpia’s and love that they came out crispy! I was wondering though, your oil sprayer works so well! What kind of oil sprayer are you using, if you don’t mind sharing? ;-D Thanks! Going to check out the rest of your website now! =D
Hi Elle, wow homemade lumpias sound great! So glad you’re enjoying them in the air fryer. For the oil spray it’s the Evo brand that we like. Here’s more info about it: https://airfryerworld.com/best-oils-for-air-frying/
