Ingredients
Ingredients
- 500 g Cooked rice preferably day-old
- 250 g Protein of choice chicken, shrimp, or tofu
- 150 g Mixed vegetables for color and crunch
- 15 ml Oil for searing
- 100 g Bang Bang sauce creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 stalks Scallions sliced, for garnish
- 15 g Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
- Season the protein and air fry until it reaches a safe internal temperature, around 74°C.
- Warm the cooked rice briefly if needed. Toss the rice with the cooked protein and mixed vegetables in a light coating of oil.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry for about 4–6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Stir in the Bang Bang sauce, return to the air fryer for 1–2 more minutes to set the glaze.
- Serve hot, garnished with scallions, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
Tip: Use rice that has been cooled and dried to prevent sogginess, and avoid overcrowding the air fryer for the best crispiness.
