Pro Tips:

  1. Mixing: For best results, mix your Rice frequently during the cooking process. This way, it cooks up perfectly.
  2. Leftovers: Cold Rice will work best, either homemade fried Rice or take-out fried right.
  3. Eggs: Make sure that the egg is fully cooked before removing it from the air fryer. You can also omit them if you are looking for an egg-free recipe.
  4. Rice: Traditional Rice used in fried Rice is either jasmine rice or long-grain rice.
  5. Soy Sauce: Soy sauce is the key to an authentic fried rice recipe. Add more if you like. I also would recommend that you use a low-sodium soy sauce.
  6. Sesame Oil: Use sesame oil, which will give you the real taste of the fried rice. Sesame oil is a great oil, with a nutty taste.
  7. Vegetables: Use any that you love, I made a batch with mushrooms sauteed, they were delicious! Add your favorite vegetables!

Fried Rice is great for leftovers!

Can you reheat Fried Rice? Yes, you can have this fried rice recipe again and again! It’s so easy to make; then it is one of my favorite meals to make on the weekend and reheat (in the air fryer, of course, during the week)

Can you freeze Fried Rice? Yes, this is a great way to make a side dish and then freeze it. Let it cool to room temperature, and then place it into a freezer bag before freezing! You can either reheat in the microwave or the air fryer right before serving.
