• Where to look: browse Frozen Dumplings or Asian Meals & Appetizers.

For best results, follow the package directions for cook times and methods. Pickup and delivery options on Walmart.com can make it convenient to keep your freezer stocked.

“Dumpling” is the broad category; “potsticker” is a specific style.

• Dumplings: can be boiled, steamed, pan-fried, or air-fried, with many shapes and fillings.
• Potstickers: a pan-fry-then-steam method that creates a crisp bottom and tender top.
• Texture and look: potstickers often have pleated edges and a flat side for searing.
• Shopping tip: product pages usually note the preferred cooking method, so you can choose the style you like.

On Walmart.com, explore Frozen Dumplings for a range of options, then filter by cooking method or filling to match your taste and how you plan to cook them.

The name “potsticker” reflects a common cooking method. Dumplings are seared in a pan, then steamed; during searing, they can lightly stick to the pan as the bottoms crisp—hence “potsticker.”

• It’s a straightforward way to describe the pan-fried, then steamed style.
• In U.S. grocery packaging, “potsticker” helps shoppers quickly recognize that crispy-bottom texture.
• You’ll typically find them in Frozen Appetizers & Snacks or Asian Meals & Appetizers.

Labeling can vary by brand and recipe, so checking the package for cooking guidance is a practical way to confirm you’re getting the style you want.

Most frozen potstickers cook up quickly; methods can vary by brand, so use the package as your guide. Common approaches include:

• Skillet: add a little oil, place frozen potstickers flat-side down, brown the bottoms, add water per directions, cover to steam, then uncover briefly to re-crisp.
• Air fryer: arrange in a single layer and cook until heated through and lightly crisp, turning once if suggested.
• Steam or boil: yields a softer, tender wrapper with no sear.

Avoid overcrowding for more even cooking, and let the filling cool briefly before eating. Pickup and delivery options make it easy to try different varieties and cooking styles at home.

A few quick checks can help you choose a bag you’ll enjoy:

• Filling and flavor: look for ingredients you like (vegetable, chicken, pork, shrimp, garlic, ginger, chili).
• Cooking method: packages often note if they’re best pan-fried, steamed, or air-fried.
• Wrapper and size: thinner wrappers may crisp faster; larger dumplings can be heartier.
• Allergens and ingredients: review labels for wheat, soy, shellfish, or other ingredients you avoid.
• Bag size: compare serving counts to match snacks, family meals, or party appetizers.

On Walmart.com, use category filters (like Frozen Dumplings) and fulfillment options such as pickup or delivery to find what fits your taste and schedule.
