Air Fryer Crispy Rice
Transform this classic deep fried appetizer into a healthier oil free option.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi Rice
- 3-4 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 3 tbsp Tamari
- 1 Avocado, sliced or mashed
- 1 Jalapeño, optional topping
- 2 tbsp Vegan Mayo
- 2 tbsp Sriracha
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds, optional topping
Instructions
- Cook the sushi rice. Once done, remove from heat and add in the rice vinegar and tamari right away. Fluff with a rice paddle.
- Add rice into the silicone mold of your choosing. Form into shape and use something like a cocktail muddler to really press it together. Carefully remove from the molds and place on your baking tray. I used the air fryer basket that comes with the Wonder Oven air fryer from Our Place and it turned out great.
- If you find the rice isn't staying together well, keep the rice pressed firmly into the mold then place the entire mold into the freezer. After a few hours, you should easily be able to pop them out without any breakage.
- Place in the air fryer and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes each side or until crispy.
- While the rice is baking, assemble your ingredients. Slice or mash the avocados, slice the jalapeño, and whisk together the mayo and sriracha.
- Once the rice is cool, add your toppings. I encourage you to make the whole batch of rice and freeze leftovers. When you're ready to enjoy, simply add back in the air fryer for a few minutes!
