Making Cauli rice

  7. Add shredded carrots, stir fry for 2 minutes.
  8. Add green pepper, stir fry.
  9. Add the grated cauliflower, stir fry.
  10. Cook covered for 5 minutes.
  11. If it's turning dry, add water & stir fry till cauliflower turns soft.
  12. Increase the heat to high, stir fry till cauliflower turns light golden brown.
  13. Add the sauces, stir fry for 2 minutes.
  14. Add sesame seeds, cilantro & lemon juice, stir fry for a minute.
  15. Finally, add sesame oil. Give everything a fabulous mix.
  16. Remove the wok from the heat, keep it covered.
Making Air fried salmon
  1. I've taken 2 salmon steaks, any kind of fish can be used.
  2. Add all the spices mentioned 'for marinating salmon' along with lemon juice, spread over the salmon.
  3. Let marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.

  6. Place the broil tray into the air fryer basket.
  7. Grease the broil tray with non-stick cooking spray.
  8. Place the marinated salmon on the broil tray.
  9. Close the pot with the air fryer lid.
