Cooking Steps

Cook rice and make sauce
1
  • Before starting, preheat the air fryer to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
  • To a small bowl, add ketchup, 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) sweet soy sauce and 1/3 cup (1/2 cup) water. Stir to combine.
Prep
2
  • Thinly slice green onions.
  • Trim snow peas.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
Prep chicken
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • To a large bowl, add chicken, ginger-garlic puree, half the Asian Sesame Blend and remaining sweet soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. 
  • Sprinkle cornstarch over top. Toss to coat. 
Cook chicken and veggies
4
  • When the air fryer is hot, lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil, then add chicken.
  • Air-fry for 8-12 min, shaking the basket halfway through, until chicken is golden and cooked through.** (TIP: Don't crowd the basket; cook chicken in 2 batches for 4 servings if needed.)
  • While chicken cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over high.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, peppers, snow peas and 2 tbsp water (use same for 4 servings). Cook for 3-5 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in remaining Asian Spice Blend. Transfer to a plate. 
  • Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Warm sauce and finish chicken
5
  • Reheat the same pan over low.
  • Add sauce mixture (from step 1) and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter.
  • Cook for 1-3 min, stirring often, until sauce is simmering and slightly thickened.
  • Remove from heat. Add chicken, then stir to coat.
Finish and serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in half the green onions.
  • Divide rice between plates.
  • Top with veggies and chicken.
  • Sprinkle remaining green onions over top.
