Making Gyoza in Air Fryer is super simple. With only 2 ingredients and 10 minutes, you have the best snack, appetizer, or side dish!
When I want to make something super quick, I immediately reach for my beloved air fryer. I have been making and experimenting with air frying all kinds of dishes in it recently, but one of my favorites has been Gyoza in Air Fryer.
I always have frozen dumplings of some shape or form in our freezer. They are one of our go-to snacks.
They are hearty and filling and bursting with flavor. Plus, they go well with a variety of dipping sauces, making them never boring.
All grocery stores tend to carry them, but our favorites are from Trader Joe’s. I happen to like the pork version the most.
With a crispy exterior and savory filling, you can’t go wrong. You can’t get that delicate wrapper this crispy unless you fry them, but of course, you will also be using excess fat.
I’m telling you, these are my favorite thing!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

- Soy sauce

- Sweet chili sauce

- Beef and Broccoli – Better Than Take Out
WILL THIS METHOD WORK WITH OTHER FROZEN GYOZA?
Yes, any frozen dumplings will work with this recipe. However, a different brand may vary cooking time, so keep that in mind. They are done when an internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
I have tested this with other Trader Joe’s potstickers, such as chicken potstickers and vegetable potstickers. Ling ling potstickers are also good!
DO I HAVE TO USE OLIVE OIL SPRAY?
You don’t HAVE to use it; technically, any cooking spray will work – other than the kind with flour like Baker’s Joy.
There is a consensus that olive oil spray does less damage than other sprays. When I say damage, I mean there is a residue left over in the air fryer that won’t come out with washing.
I learned this from experience; olive oil spray has never left any residue.

HOW TO STORE:
Store leftover potstickers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Do not reheat in the air fryer as they may burn.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
Place leftover dumplings in the freezer in a freezer-safe container. To thaw, place the dish in the fridge overnight.
