How to Cook Frozen Gyoza (Japanese Dumplings) in an Air Fryer
Despite the package having instructions for not one, two, three, or four, but FIVE cooking methods… we opted do none of those and instead try cooking Vici gyoza in our air fryer!
-> See More: Air Fryer Cooking
We arranged 14 gyoza in our air fryer and spritzed with cooking spray. We air fried them at 200C, the highest temp on our air fryer, for about 10 minutes and checked for internal temp and color.
Can You Cook Frozen Gyoza in an Air Fryer?
Absolutely! This is an easy way to cook these little Japanese parcels of joy. As you can probably tell from the photos, the dough is quite crispy.
More often when you have gyoza the dough is soft and starchy with one side having a nice crust from being fried in a pan. So this is a different experience, for sure.
Vici Gyozas de Verduras Picantes Review
We love Vici Gyoza! We have tried both the chicken (frango) and spicy vegetables (verduras picantes) and we prefer the vegetable version. They are very flavorful and truly do have a nice spice level to them!
We have repurchased these at Lidl multiple times and they are great to have on hand for a busy night or when you’re too tired to cook.
See how they turn out when cooked in a pan … (Cook Along Coming Soon!)
