Preparation
Cook the rice
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly oil the basket.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water and a big pinch of salt (double the water and salt for 4 portions); bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Fry the vegetables
- Meanwhile, mince the garlic.
- In a large bowl, combine the broccoli (halve if large), edamame, a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Add 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and the vegetables to the air fryer basket.
- Fry, shaking and adding ½ the garlic halfway, 6 to 8 min., until tender.
- Transfer to a plate and reserve the bowl.
Prepare the meatballs
- In the same bowl, combine the beef, panko, remaining garlic and spices, and S&P.
- Form into 8 meatballs (double for 4 portions).
Fry & glaze the meatballs
- Place the meatballs* in the air fryer and fry, 10 to 12 min., until cooked through.
- Transfer to a second large bowl and drizzle with the chili sauce; toss gently.
Plate your dish
