Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Fried Rice
Takeout-style fried rice made in the air fryer with leftover rice, mixed vegetables and a scrambled egg folded in at the end. It gets lightly toasted edges with almost no oil.
It's the perfect way to use day-old rice and frozen veggies for a 20-minute side or a quick lunch. Add shrimp, chicken or leftover ham to turn it into a full meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F while you prep the rice.
Mix
In a bowl, combine the rice, vegetables, soy sauce, oil, salt and pepper.
First cook
Transfer to a lightly oiled 7-inch air fryer-safe pan or foil dish. Cook 10 minutes, stirring once.
Add the egg
Pour the beaten egg over the rice, stir well, and cook another 5 minutes until the egg is set.
Serve
Fluff with a fork, top with green onions and serve hot.
- Day-old rice fries up better than fresh, which is too moist.
- Stir halfway so the top doesn't dry out.
- Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil for restaurant flavor.
