Air Fryer Fried Rice – Asian

Step 1: Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of cooked and cold white rice, 1 cup of frozen vegetables (peas and carrots), 1/4 cup of finely chopped onions (optional), 2 scrambled eggs, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the rice is evenly coated with the soy sauce and all components are well distributed.

Step 2: Prepare for Air Frying

Transfer the mixed fried rice ingredients into an air fryer safe bowl or pan. Ensure the bowl fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket.

Step 3: Air Fry the Rice

Place the bowl of fried rice into the air fryer. Set the air fryer to 360°F (≈180°C) (approximately 180°C) (182°C (≈360°F) (approximately 360°F)) and cook for 15 minutes.

Step 4: Mix During Cooking

During the air frying process, open the air fryer and mix the rice well when the timer is at 10 minutes, 5 minutes, and 2 minutes remaining. This ensures even heating and crisping of the rice.

Step 5: Adjust Cooking Time (Optional)

If you prefer softer vegetables or a crispier rice texture, add additional cooking time in 2-minute increments until desired consistency is reached.

• Mix the rice well at 10 minutes, 5 minutes, and 2 minutes remaining on the timer for even cooking and texture.

• Add additional cooking time in 2-minute increments if you prefer softer vegetables.

• Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.

• Experiment with different vegetables like corn, bell peppers, or mushrooms.

• Adjust soy sauce and add other seasonings like ginger, garlic, or sesame oil to taste.
