Soy sauce or teriyaki sauce for extra flavor
Sesame oil for a nutty finish
Chopped green onions for freshness

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures even heating and helps maintain the texture of the rice.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Meal
Remove the meal from the box and plastic film, keeping the food inside its tray.
Lightly spray the top of the rice with cooking spray to prevent drying out.
Stir slightly to help with even heating.
Step 3: Air Fry the Chicken Fried Rice
Place the tray in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for 12-14 minutes, stirring halfway through for even heating.
Crispy Rice Option: For a slightly crispy texture, transfer the rice to an air fryer-safe dish and cook for an additional 2 minutes at 375°F.
Extra Flavor: Drizzle with soy sauce or sesame oil in the last 2 minutes for added taste.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the tray from the air fryer and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Serve immediately with extra soy sauce, green onions, or red pepper flakes for added flavor.
