Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine rice with sesame oil, soy sauce, and chili crisp. Spread evenly and bake for 16-18 minutes in the air fryer or 40 minutes in the oven, stirring halfway through.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together sesame oil, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, chili crisp, and grated ginger until smooth. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
  3. Once the rice is crispy, let it cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the crispy rice with chopped fresh veggies and gently toss.
  4. Drizzle the peanut sesame dressing over the rice and vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately or refrigerate components separately for meal prep.
