Tips for choosing fresh and good-quality ingredients

Choosing eggs

Choose eggs with thick shells and a thin layer of bloom around them. The eggs with medium size are usually fresher than the ones that are too thin or too big. Eggs with smooth and shiny shells, with a slight crack-like feeling, are usually old eggs and should not be chosen.

Choosing carrots

Choose carrots of medium size, with smooth and shiny skins, and long and tapered shapes. The green leaves should still be fresh, tightly attached to the stem, and have a dark color. When held in hand, they should feel firm and when touched, they should feel hard.

Choosing snow peas

Frequently asked questions

An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that uses hot air and rapid air circulation to cook food, creating a crispy, fried texture without the need for large amounts of oil. It works by heating the air to high temperatures and circulating it around the food, resulting in even cooking and browning.

Air fryers offer a healthier alternative to traditional deep frying as they require little to no oil. They are also convenient, easy to use, and can cook a variety of foods, from frozen fries to meats and vegetables. Air fryers are typically compact, making them suitable for small kitchens or those with limited counter space.

Yes, you can! The recipe provided in the article demonstrates how to make delicious mixed fried rice in an air fryer. It combines cooked rice, vegetables, and seasonings, resulting in a quick, tasty, and healthy dish.

The basic ingredients include cooked rice (preferably chilled), mixed vegetables of your choice (fresh or frozen), soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and pepper. You can also add meat or tofu for protein and adjust the seasonings to your taste.

Chop or slice the vegetables into small, even pieces. If using meat, cut it into thin strips or small cubes. It is important to ensure that the rice is chilled or at room temperature before adding it to the air fryer; warm or freshly cooked rice may result in a mushy texture.

Preheat your air fryer to a temperature between 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the vegetables (and meat, if using) in the air fryer basket and cook for 5-7 minutes. Then, add the rice, seasonings, and a small amount of oil, and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.

For even cooking, spread the ingredients in a single layer in the air fryer basket and stir occasionally during cooking. You can also experiment with different seasonings and ingredients to find your favorite combinations. Finally, feel free to adjust the cooking time and temperature slightly depending on your air fryer model and your preferred level of doneness.
