Time 30m

Yield 1 to 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cooked white rice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sriracha
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, preferably toasted, plus more for topping
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed

Steps:

  • Combine the rice, vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat the rice. Transfer to a 7-inch round air fryer insert, metal cake pan or foil pan.
  • Put the pan in a 5.3-quart air fryer and cook at 350 degrees F, stirring halfway through, until the rice is lightly toasted and crunchy, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the sriracha, soy sauce, sesame seeds and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a small bowl.
  • Open the air fryer and pour the egg over the rice. Close and cook until the egg is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Open again, add the peas and carrots and stir into the rice to distribute and break up the egg. Close and cook 2 minutes more to heat the peas and carrots.
  • Spoon the fried rice into bowls, drizzle with some of the sauce and sprinkle with more sesame seeds.
