Reviews
Had to cook the egg part a little longer than it said but it’s still amazing
A good recipe, however I would say 2 tablespoons of Sriracha is WAY too much. Your mouth is on fire by the first bite. Maybe 1 TEAspoon is good. And it could probably go for 8 minutes in the air fryer. 10 minutes and you’re on the edge of burning your food. Other than that, yum
The recipe isn’t clear, but add the rice in the second step. When you add the egg and veggies, add the soy/sriracha sauce, and more after cooking if you like. I added leftover pork chops at the second step as well, I’m sure it’s good for leftover chicken too. Needs more ingredients like ginger, rice vinegar, chili flakes and garlic, but that’s my preference.
It is an easy to do recipe, and the result turned out pretty good the first time I made it. I like food that can be cooked by air fryer in summer, so thank you for sharing your recipe
