How To Make Ling Ling Potstickers In Air Fryer

Here’s a simple guide to achieving perfectly crispy potstickers with minimal effort:

Air Fryer Frozen Dumplings, Potstickers, Gyoza, Wontons

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F (193°C). This ensures the potstickers start cooking at the optimal temperature for an even, crispy exterior.

Prepare the Potstickers: While the air fryer is preheating, lightly spray or brush the frozen Ling Ling Potstickers with olive oil. Or use a pastry brush to brush a little oil on top of the frozen potstickers. This helps to achieve that golden-brown crispness without them sticking to the basket.

Arrange in the Basket: Place the potstickers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they’re not touching each other to allow hot air to circulate freely around each potsticker, which is crucial for even cooking.

Cook: Air fry the potstickers for about 8 to 10 minutes. If you prefer a softer exterior, add a tablespoon of water to the bottom of the air fryer basket before cooking to create steam that will keep the wrappers tender.

Shake or Flip: Halfway through cooking, shake the basket or flip the potstickers to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.

Check for Doneness: The potstickers are done when they have achieved a golden-brown color and crispy texture. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) if you want to be extra cautious, although the cooking process typically ensures this.

Serve: Remove the potstickers from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce on the side or diced green onions, red pepper flakes, or sesame seeds.

Ling ling potstickers air fryer recipe tips

Preheat Your Air Fryer: Always start with a preheated air fryer.
Use a Light Oil Coating. A very light spray or brush of oil on the potstickers before cooking can greatly improve the crispiness of the wrappers.
Don’t Overcrowd the Basket. Place potstickers in a single layer with space between them.
Add Water for Steam: For a tender wrapper with a crispy bottom, add a tablespoon of water to the bottom of the air fryer basket before cooking.
Flip Halfway Through: Flipping or shaking the basket halfway through cooking ensures that the potstickers brown evenly on all sides.
Adjust Cooking Time as Needed: Cooking times may vary based on your air fryer model and the size of the potstickers.
Experiment with Dipping Sauces: Ling Ling Potstickers pair with various dipping sauces wonderfully.
Let Them Rest: After cooking, let the potstickers rest for a minute or two before serving.
Serve Immediately: For the best texture, serve the potstickers immediately after cooking.
Keep It Clean: To make cleanup easier and prevent sticking, consider placing parchment paper or a perforated parchment liner in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Just ensure it’s safe for air frying and that air can still circulate.
