Break out the air fryer for this easy twist on fried rice. This Vegetable Fried Rice requires only a few ingredients and comes together quickly.
Are you an air fryer fan? I’m finding that you can make almost anything in an air fryer. We’ve made everything from STEAK BUNDLES to SALMON so why not fried rice? This recipe comes together lickety split (probably in less time than you could attempt a delivery) and can be served as either a delish meal or a side dish. Options, you know we love them.
Part of the reason this dish comes together so quickly is because we make use of LEFTOVER white rice. I’m a huge believer in repurposing leftovers. Waste not. Want not.
TIP: I find a RICE COOKER to be an incredibly helpful kitchen appliance, especially one with a keep warm feature. The keep warm feature in my rice cooker allows me make a large batch and then use it over the course of a few days. Which means I save time when preparing additional meals throughout the week that include rice.
