# Expert Tips:

01 -

Seventeen minutes from freezer to table means you can impress people without stress or complicated timing.
That sesame oil glaze tastes like you've been cooking all day, when really you just mixed three ingredients.
The air fryer does the hard work of crisping while you set the table and pour drinks.

02 -

Don't skip the space between dumplings—crowding them means steam can't escape and you lose that crispy texture you're after.
The glaze will continue to set as they cool slightly, so even if it looks wet when they come out, it firms up into something glossy and perfect.
