AIR FRYER FRIED RICE RECIPE

AIR FRYER FRIED RICE RECIPE

Certainly! Here's a simple recipe for making fried rice in an air fryer:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked rice (preferably chilled)

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, corn, and diced bell peppers)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

• Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.

2. Prepare Ingredients: While the air fryer is preheating, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the mixed vegetables and cook until they are tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add Rice: Add the chilled cooked rice to the skillet or wok with the vegetables. Break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through and starts to crisp up slightly.

4. Cook Eggs: Push the rice and vegetables to one side of the skillet or wok and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a minute or until they start to set, then gently scramble them with a spatula until they are fully cooked.

5. Seasoning: Once the eggs are cooked, mix them with the rice and vegetables in the skillet or wok. Add soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.

6. Air Fry: Transfer the fried rice mixture to the preheated air fryer basket in an even layer. Cook in the air fryer at 360°F (180°C) for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the fried rice is crispy and golden brown.

7. Serve: Once the fried rice is cooked to your desired crispiness, remove it from the air fryer basket and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

AIR FRYER TOFU (AIR FRIED IN 15 MINUTES)

simple recipe for air fryer tofu that cooks up quickly:

Ingredients:

• 1 block of firm or extra firm tofu

• 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil or sesame oil

• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon of onion powder

• 1/2 teaspoon of paprika (optional for added flavor)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. You can do this by wrapping the block of tofu in paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, placing it on a plate, and then putting something heavy on top (like a skillet or some books). Let it press for about 15-30 minutes.

2. Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into cubes or slices, depending on your preference.

3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce or tamari, olive oil or sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.

4. Add the tofu cubes or slices to the bowl and gently toss them until they're evenly coated with the marinade. Let the tofu marinate for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

5. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.

6. Once the air fryer is preheated, arrange the tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook the tofu in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

7. Cook the tofu in the air fryer for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The tofu should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.

8. Once done, carefully remove the tofu from the air fryer and serve hot. You can enjoy it as is, or with your favorite dipping sauce or added to salads, stir-fries, or grain bowls.

9. Leftover tofu can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp it up again before serving. Enjoy your quick and delicious air fryer tofu!
