How to Re-Heat Air Fryer Frozen Dumplings
Air fried frozen dumpling are super easy. 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.
Tips on Cooking Frozen Dumpling in the Air Fryer
- Cook in just a single layer. Don’t stack the dumplings. Cook in batches if needed.
- Make sure to spray & completely coat the dumplings with oil so the wrapper gets crispy, not dry and hard.
- You don’t need to thaw the dumplings first. You can cook them straight from frozen.

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/
Thank you for the wonderful recipe. The directions for using an air-fryer wasn’t offered on the bag…wonderful & beautiful results achieved!!
I really loved how easy this was to cook. Thanks for the recipe!
OMG. My life is changed. It is too easy cook up a handful of potstickers for a quick munchie. Thank you!
I was craving these dumplings but I honestly didn’t want to fry them in oil. Air frying them worked just as good and you don’t even need to use that much oil. Turned out great.
The simplest dinner ever. Thanks for the great tips! We have a bigger oven style air fryer with 2 racks and rotated them halfway through. Added about another 5 minutes and they were crispy and amazing!
Hi Hannah! Thanks for sharing about the oven style. It definitely takes a little longer if you have a bigger one and rotating the racks is definitely key to making them cook evenly.
