Who doesn’t love a plate of hot, flavourful fried rice? Whether it’s your go to comfort meal or a quick weeknight fix, fried rice is everyone’s favourite. But did you know you can make it crispy, aromatic, and oil-free in your ENSIEN Air Fryer?
Yes! No wok, no extra oil, and no kitchen mess. Let’s explore how to make perfect air fryer fried rice that’s healthy and bursting with flavour.
Why Use an Air Fryer for Fried Rice?
The air fryer uses rapid hot air circulation to cook your food evenly, giving you that stir-fried texture without the excess oil.
Here’s why you’ll love it:
✅ Less oil, more health
✅ Faster cooking (ready in under 15 minutes!)
✅ Perfect crispy texture
✅ Easy clean up
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cups cooked and cooled rice (preferably leftover rice)
- 1 tbsp oil (olive or sesame oil works best)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrot, beans, peas, corn, bell peppers)
- 2 eggs (optional, for egg fried rice)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chili sauce (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Chopped spring onions for garnish
Step-by-Step Air Fryer Method
Step 1: Preheat Your Air Fryer
Set your ENSIEN Air Fryer to 180°C and preheat it for 3 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Rice Mix
In a large bowl, mix together rice, vegetables, oil, soy sauce, and seasonings. If using eggs, scramble them lightly in a pan first and add to the mix.
Step 3: Air Fry the Rice
- Line the air fryer basket with foil or parchment paper (optional for easy cleaning).
- Add the rice mixture evenly, don’t overload the basket!
- Air fry at 180°C for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Step 4: Add a Final Touch
Once done, your rice will be lightly crisped and fragrant. Garnish with fresh spring onions and serve hot!
Pro Tips for the Best Results
•Use cold rice: Freshly cooked rice tends to clump. Leftover rice gives a perfect fried texture.
•Don’t overcrowd: Air needs to circulate freely, cook in batches if needed.
•Customize it: Add tofu, chicken, or prawns for protein-rich variations.
