Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups day-old cooked white rice cold from the fridge
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or any neutral flavored oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger freshly minced
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the avocado oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and pepper. Add the cold rice, tossing well to ensure all grains are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned rice onto an air fryer liner in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes without stirring.
- After 8 minutes, add the frozen peas and carrots to the rice, tossing everything together and scraping any crispy bits from the bottom. Return to an even layer and air fry for another 4 minutes.
- Next, create a small well in the center of the rice and crack the eggs into this well. Air fry for 3 minutes, until the egg whites are set.
- Stir in the eggs, drizzle with sesame oil, and combine everything thoroughly.
- Serve the fried rice hot, garnished with scallions.
Notes
Using day-old rice gives the best texture, preventing the fried rice from becoming mushy.
Feel free to add other vegetables or proteins based on your preferences.
Check the seasoning before serving and adjust the soy sauce or salt if needed.
