Take a colander and put rice into it then rinse it under water. In the beginning, the water’s color will be white but over time it will be clear. When you find that the color of the water is clear, use your hands to scrub the rice and shake the colander to drain the water.
Leave the rice for a minute until you find that they are drained and then add rice to a cake pan. Pour 1.25 to 1.50 cups of water into the pan and sprinkle salt. Most people, including me, use olive oil but if you have another one such as vegetable oil or cooking oil, you can use it to drizzle the oil onto the rice and stir for a minute to mix the ingredients.
When you find that the ingredients are well mixed, cover the head of the pancake with foil paper. Carefully cover the head and then turn the air fryer on for preheating, the major difference between our recipe and the way professional chefs cook is that they preheat an air fryer and then use it.
After 2 to 3 minutes, the air fryer will be ready to accept the rice pan. Place the covered cake pan containing rice on the air fryer basket and then cook at 300 degrees F.If you increase the temperature, rice will be prepared within 15 minutes but I advise you to cook rice at a lower flame to ensure even cooking. After 30 minutes, turn the air fryer off and leave the covered pan for 15 minutes.
Use oven mitts to remove the foil on the head of the pan after 15 minutes and check if the rice is ready. Use a rice paddle to fluff and then transfer to a plate. Rice is cooked so use a plate to serve and eat it with beef stroganoff and stir-fried vegetables.
