Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures the dumplings will start cooking immediately and get a nice crisp exterior.

If you like, you can lightly spray or brush the dumplings with oil. This helps enhance the crispiness, but it is optional since the dumplings already contain some fat.

Place the frozen dumplings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not touching to allow air to circulate freely around each dumpling, which helps them cook evenly and become crispy.

Cook the dumplings for about 8-10 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, shake the basket or use tongs to turn the dumplings to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.

The dumplings are done when they have turned golden brown and crispy. If needed, they can cook for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.

Serve the air-fried dumplings hot. They pair wonderfully with a dipping sauce such as soy sauce mixed with a little sesame oil and rice vinegar, or a spicy dipping sauce like sriracha mixed with soy sauce.
