Want to learn how to cook frozen dumplings to crisp and tender perfection? No matter your appliances, kitchen size, or amount of free time, there’s a way that you can enjoy our delicious gluten-free frozen potstickers. When our co-founder Vanessa discovered she had celiac, she was heartbroken that she could no longer enjoy the potstickers at her family’s restaurants. Naturally, gluten-free potstickers were one of the first snacks that the Feel Good Foods team sought to perfect; now, they’re available in hearty pork, classic chicken, and snackable vegetable flavors. From steaming to air frying, here’s our comprehensive guide to bringing out the best in our frozen dumplings.
In a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, add ½ cup of water and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Place the frozen potstickers flat side-down and cover the pan with a lid for 8 to 12 minutes, until all the water has evaporated and the flat side of each potsticker is golden.
Place frozen potstickers and 1 tablespoon of water in a microwave-safe container. Cover the container with a damp paper towel and microwave for 2 minutes. Carefully remove the container from the microwave, drain the water, and let the potstickers sit for 1 minute.
Place the frozen potstickers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd the potstickers, and cook in batches if needed. Liberally coat the potstickers with vegetable oil spray in order to prevent dry dumpling wrappers. Air fry the potstickers at 380°F for about 8 minutes, then flip the potstickers and air fry at the same temperature for another 2 to 6 minutes or until they are cooked to your liking!

Have a bamboo steamer on hand? Line the basket with parchment paper or Napa cabbage. Then, place the covered steamer on top of a pan or wok that is filled with about one inch of water. Bring the water to a boil, and steam the dumplings until cooked through (about 10 minutes).
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange your frozen potstickers on a baking sheet in a single layer, spaced ½ inch apart, and if desired, brush or spray with vegetable oil. Bake your potstickers in the oven for 10 to 18 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the dumplings are cooked to your liking (we prefer ours golden brown).
Fill about ⅔ of a large pot with water, cover, and bring to a boil. Add frozen potstickers, cook until they float, and then allow them to boil for another 2 or 3 minutes. Strain the potstickers and serve!
