Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Add the beef mince, onion, garlic, chilli, and vegetable oil into a foil tray or heatproof dish.
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, stirring halfway, until the beef is browned and starting to catch round the edges.
Mix together the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce over the beef and stir thoroughly.
Return to the air fryer for 4–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes rich and glossy.
Add the cooked jasmine rice directly into the tray and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Air fry for a final 4–5 minutes, stirring once, until the rice is hot and slightly toasted in places.
Finish with spring onions, coriander, and lime wedges. Serve immediately while steaming hot.
