Equipment

  • air fryer
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • liquid measuring cup

Ingredients

  • 12 frozen potstickers
  • avocado spray oil

Sweet Chili Sauce

  • ⅓ cup water
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sambal oelek or sriracha
  • 1½ teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ketchup
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water

Yum Yum Sauce

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon granulated onion
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha more or less depending on your spice preference
  • 1 teaspoon tamari or soy sauce

Instructions

Crispy Wontons

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°. Place the potstickers on a baking sheet or a large plate. Evenly coat the potstickers with the avocado spray oil.
  • Add the wontons in a single layer with plenty of space between each one in the air fryer. Let them cook for about 12 minutes or until nice and crispy. See note below.

Sweet Chili Sauce

  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water, rice vinegar, sugar, sambal oelek, garlic, ginger, ketchup, and tamari. Stir until the sugar dissolves and bring the mixture up to a simmer.
  • Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until combined. Remove from heat and let cool.

Yum Yum Sauce

  • Mix together the mayo, ketchup, sriracha, rice vinegar, smoked paprika, granulated garlic and onion, and rice vinegar.

Serving

  • Once the potstickers are nice and crispy, dunk in one or two of the sauces and enjoy!

Notes

  • The difference in air fryers and the difference in brand and size of your potsticker will affect the cook time. Start watching the potstickers around the 6 minute mark. I've seen them take anywhere from 8 minutes to 18 minutes to get nice and crispy.
  • If you like a sweeter sauce, add granulated sugar or honey to one or both of the above sauces. I would start with a teaspoon and go up from there depending on your taste.
