Description

Try this air fryer fried rice recipe and leave the messy wok for another night. Leftover rice, frozen veggies, and condiments make this dish a breeze.

Ingredients

2 cups cold cooked rice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Preheat a 5-quart air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3 Stir cooked rice, sesame oil, water, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until evenly combined. Transfer to a 7-inch round metal cake pan or an air fryer insert. Place the pan into the air fryer basket.
4 Place the basket into the preheated air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Pour beaten egg over rice and air-fry until egg is set, about 4 minutes.
5 Add peas and carrots; stir to combine and break up egg. Air-fry for 2 more minutes.
6 Meanwhile, whisk soy sauce and Sriracha together in a small bowl; set aside for serving.
7 Divide fried rice between two serving bowls and pour sauce over top.
