Ingredients

1½ tbsp light soy sauce
3 eggs, lightly beaten
4 salad onion, timmed and sliced
1½ tbsp sesame oil
2 clove/s garlic, finely chopped
1 red chilli, sliced
210g pack Bright & Colourful Ginger Stir Fry (or similar-sized pack of stir fry vegetables)
15g ginger, peeled and finely chopped (if not included in the vegetable stir fry pack above)
250g Waitrose brown basmati rice 250g
Sweet chilli sauce, to serve (optional)

Method

Turn the air fryer to 180ºC and remove the grate from the cooking bowl. Combine ½ tbsp soy sauce with the eggs and sliced salad onions. Add ½ tbsp sesame oil to the hot bowl of the air fryer and immediately pour in the egg mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir and cook for a further minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Drizzle in the remaining 1 tbsp oil, then add the garlic, chilli, stir fry vegetables (except the coriander, if included) and ginger, if using. Stir well and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the veg has begun to turn golden in places.
Stir in the rice with the remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce, breaking it up with a spatula and folding it through the softened vegetables. Continue to cook for about 6 minutes, stopping to stir every 2 minutes, until the vegetables are just cooked and the rice is piping hot. Stir the eggs through for the final 2 minutes. Serve in warm bowls, scattered with any reserved coriander leaves and some sweet chilli sauce, if liked.
