Doneness
Bottom is crisp and slightly browned; filling is hot when bitten; wrapper has the chewy-soft tops of a fresh pan-fried dumpling.
Technique
Brush each pot sticker with 1 teaspoon of oil to re-crisp the seared bottom. No flipping — the original seared side stays facing up so the bottom (now facing down) crisps anew on the basket grate.
Watch out for
- Dumplings with very wet fillings (soup dumplings, xiao long bao) cannot be air-fried at all — the soup escapes and the wrapper splits.
- Frozen pot stickers should be defrosted before reheating; air-frying from frozen produces a soft, undercooked centre.
