Frozen Dumplings Sesame Oil

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dumplings

01 - 20 frozen dumplings (pork, chicken, or vegetable)

→ Glaze and Garnish

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.

02 - Place frozen dumplings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, spacing them apart. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray if desired for enhanced crispiness.

03 - Air fry the dumplings for 8 minutes.

04 - Combine sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar (if using) in a small bowl and mix well.

05 - Brush the dumplings generously with the sesame oil glaze after 8 minutes of cooking.

07 - Transfer dumplings to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately with extra soy sauce or preferred dipping sauce.

# Additional Tips::

01 -

Crispy edges that rival pan-fried dumplings without the constant attention or oil splatters.
The sesame oil glaze tastes like you spent way more time than you actually did.
Ready in 17 minutes from freezer to plate, perfect for those nights when you're hungry but not ambitious.

02 -

Don't skip the preheating step or brush them too early in the cook—the moisture from the glaze on cold dumplings steams rather than crisps.
The sesame oil burns if the temperature is too high, so 375°F is the sweet spot that keeps it fragrant without turning bitter.
