Potstickers, Gyozas, Dumplings and Mandu

Potstickers, Gyozas, Dumplings, and Mandu are different names for delicious tiny pockets of dough wrappers with vegetable or meat filling inside.

Potstickers, aka gyoza, are crispy and usually pan-fried.

Chinese dumplings are categorized into two camps: Jiǎozi (餃子) and

Guōtiē (鍋貼). Jiaozi is typically steamed or boiled, while Guotie is usually pan-fried. 

Mandu is a type of dumpling in Korea. Korean dumplings can be cooked both by steaming and pan-frying.  

How to cook dumplings depend on your personal preference. There is no wrong way to prepare them. I enjoy different dumplings, like these Easy Vegan Dumplings recipe with my favorite dipping soy sauce. They are perfect whenever I need a quick snack or an easy meal!

If I want to make dumplings at home, where can I buy potsticker wrappers? Major grocery stores and Asian markets will have frozen dumpling wrappers in the freezer section. The standard potsticker wrappers come in square and round-sized dumpling wrappers.

How To Make Air Fry Potstickers 

Homemade dumplings are cheap healthy freezer meals that freeze and reheat well! Growing up, I would sit around the kitchen dining table with my grandma and aunties, folding hundreds of little dumplings to make healthy freezer meals for a month. You would never just make one dumpling!

How Long Do You Air Fry Frozen Potsticker? 

Depending on the air fryer model, you can cook frozen dumplings in the air fryer in just six to eight minutes (I use THIS air fryer!) 

Preheat the air fryer to 370°F for two minutes. 

Brush the bottom of your air fryer basket with a little bit of oil or use a cooking spray. The best way to avoid messy clean-ups is to use air fryer parchment paper and line the bottom of the pan.

Place the frozen dumplings in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray with a tiny bit of oil. I like to use a neutral vegetable oil like (canola oil spray).

Air fry frozen dumplings at 375F for eight minutes. Flipping halfway at the 4-minute mark. Air fry until golden brown.

Pro Tip: add a couple tablespoons of water to the bottom of the air fryer tray. The water will help steam and moisten the dumpling skin!

Next time, if you are looking for a healthier option to cook frozen dumplings, Air Fryer pot stickers are a great way to make this side dish in less time. It is also much healthier than deep-frying!

Can You Cook Fresh Potstickers In Air Fryer?

Fresh homemade dumplings take even less cooking time in the air fryer. Air fry freshly made gyzoas for five to six minutes. Flipping halfway.

How To Store Leftover Potstickers

Don't worry if you made extra air fryer frozen dumplings. Leftover potstickers are excellent as easy meals to freeze and reheat in the microwave the next day!

If you wonder how long leftover potstickers last in the fridge, you can store cooked dumplings in an airtight container for up to three to four days. However, mine never lasts that long! After all, they are one of my favorite meal.

Where Can You Buy Frozen Potstickers?

One of the easiest ways to have an easy lunch is to stock up on frozen potstickers. You can buy frozen dumplings at your local Asian grocery or supermarket. One of my favourite brands is Bibigo Mandu Frozen Dumplings. The Mandu Beef Bulgogi is so juicy!!
