Ingredients
Scale
Dumplings
- 12 frozen dumplings (any brand, any variety)
- Cooking spray or spray oil, for spraying
Dipping Sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1–2 teaspoons chili paste (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380° Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for cooking dumplings evenly and achieving a crispy exterior.
- Prepare Dumplings in Basket: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray or oil. Place the frozen dumplings in a single flat layer inside the basket. Work in batches if necessary to avoid stacking or overlapping the dumplings, which can prevent even cooking.
- Spray Dumplings: Lightly spray the tops of the dumplings with additional cooking spray to promote crispness during air frying.
- Air Fry Dumplings: Place the basket in the air fryer and cook for 8 minutes at 380°F. This time crisps the outside and heats the dumplings through.
- Make the Dipping Sauce: While dumplings cook, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili paste in a small bowl. Whisk thoroughly until fully combined to create a balanced, flavorful dipping sauce.
- Check Doneness and Serve: After 8 minutes, check that the dumplings are heated through and crispy. Remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce for a perfect appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Ensure dumplings are arranged in a single layer for even cooking.
- Adjust chili paste quantity to control the spice level of the dipping sauce.
- Use cooking spray sparingly to avoid excess oil but still achieve crispiness.
- Any variety of frozen dumplings can be used depending on preference.
- The air frying time may vary slightly depending on air fryer model and dumpling size.
