Air Fryer Potstickers

If you're a fan of potstickers, then you're going to love making them in an air fryer. Air fryers have become increasingly popular in recent years for their ability to cook food quickly and with less oil than traditional frying methods. With their hot air circulation, air fryers are perfect for achieving that crispy, golden brown exterior that potstickers are known for, while still keeping the inside tender and juicy.

Yield:

24 potstickers

Ingredients

½ pound ground pork
1 (4 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 (4 ounce) can shiitake mushrooms, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
1 (12 ounce) package round dumpling wrappers

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine pork, water chestnuts, mushrooms, sesame oil, soy sauce, and Sriracha in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until pork is crumbly and no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Lay 8 dumpling wrappers on a clean work surface. Place a heaping teaspoonful of pork mixture in the middle of each wrapper. Pull both sides up like a taco and pinch the tops until sealed.

Step 4

Cook in the preheated air fryer for 3 minutes. Use tongs to flip potstickers and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until pork mixture is used up.
