Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F
Cut a piece of foil or parchment to fit in your air fryer basket to prevent the rice from falling through the grate, or place the rice in an oven-safe dish that fits in your air fryer. Make sure not to block all air flow though, or the rice will cook unevenly
Place frozen fried rice on the piece of foil into the preheated air fryer basket

Notes
Any flavor of frozen fried rice will do. I have Korean barbecue chicken flavor, but you can grab any chicken, beef, shrimp, or vegetable option
Additionally, the brand of fried rice doesn’t matter. I’m using the Bibigo brand here, but have made Trader Joe’s, InnovAsian, and PF Chang’s before as well
My topping recommendations generally include a fried egg, sliced green onions, soy sauce, or spicy mayo, but you can choose your favorites (and it’s completely optional)
If you want your rice a little more browned and crispy, you can add additional cooking time as needed. However, make sure to keep additional time in 1-2 minute increments so you can check frequently and don’t overcook
It’s important to leave a small gap between the basket and foil or parchment on each side to allow air flow to come through, or else you’ll end up with unevenly cooked rice
I recommend a spatula or spoon to stir the rice round during cooking. Forks may puncture the foil or paper and make a mess
Exact nutritional values will vary based on brand of ingredients, additional toppings or sauces, and quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
