Soup Dumplings (xiao long bao) — CAUTION in the Air Fryer

Cook frozen soup dumplings (xiao long bao) — caution straight from the freezer at 350°F (175°C) for 7-10 minutes. No thawing. Brand notes included.

350°F for 7 to 10 minutes.

  1. 1

    Do not thaw. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Spread the frozen soup dumplings (xiao long bao) — caution in a single layer straight from the bag.

  3. 3

    Air fry for 7 to 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Follow the package directions and check the center for doneness. Browning alone does not show that raw meat or poultry is cooked safely.

Use these settings as a starting point; thickness, quantity, and appliance model affect timing. How to use our cooking guides.

Worth knowing. Air frying breaks the soup seal — do this only if you want crispy bottoms and expect broth loss. Steaming is better.

Brand notes

Din Tai Fung / Wei-Chuan XLB: 350°F, 8 min if you insist on air frying.
