Equipment

Air Fryer
Oven Proof Casserole Dish

Ingredients

4 eggs
salt and pepper
3 cups cooked and chilled rice basmati, jasmine or long grain white rice (750g)
2 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 green onion sliced

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 350F.
Crack the eggs into your oven proof casserole dish and add a couple of pinches of salt and pepper.
Place the dish over the stovetop on a medium high heat. Whisk and cook to make scrambled eggs.
Take the dish off of the heat and add the rest of the ingredients to the dish. Mix well to combine.
Place in the air fryer and cook at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir halfway through cooking.
Serve with sliced green onions.

Notes

For best results use cooked and chilled rice. The recipe doesn't work well with just cooked rice and it should be cold when mixed with the other ingredients.
Preheat the air fryer before placing in the dish. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat function, let it run for 5 minutes at 350F.
Stir a couple of times during cooking, this will help to heat and cook the rice evenly.
Different air fryer models can run a little differently. Make sure that the rice is piping hot before serving.
