Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
- 1/2 cup white onions, diced
- 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3-4 cups white rice, cooked, and cold
- 3 tablespoons garlic butter
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 stalks scallions, diced
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Combine the chilled rice, cooked diced chicken, white onions, diced carrots, beaten eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic butter, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Transfer the rice mixture to the air fryer basket and spread it out in a single layer. If necessary, you can cook the rice in batches to avoid overcrowding the basket. Cook the fried rice in the air fryer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the fried rice is golden brown and crispy on the outside, remove it from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. If desired, serve the Benihana Chicken Fried Rice hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Baking Pan
- Wok, optional
Notes
Wok Method for Benihana Fried Rice:
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and sauté until it begins to brown.
Stir in onion, carrots, and 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce and sauté until the vegetables begin to soften.
Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the cooked rice, garlic butter, and remaining 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce. Sauté 3 minutes.
Move the rice to the sides of the pan to create an opening in the center. Pour in the beaten eggs and let cook 2 minutes without stirring. Once the eggs begin to set, scramble them in the center of the pan and then fold the scrambled eggs into the rice.
Stir in chopped scallions before serving.
