This air fryer fried rice recipe means there's no need to stand over a hot wok while making your favorite rice side dish. Cleanup is also 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

Directions

  1. Preheat a 5-quart air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 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.
