250g cooked jasmine rice
1 small onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 red chilli, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
Thai Basil Sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

Method
Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.
Add the beef mince, onion, garlic, chilli, and olive oil to a foil tray or heatproof dish.
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway, until browned and loaded with flavour.
Stir through the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper.
Return to the air fryer for 4–5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the beef starts caramelising around the edges.
Stir through the fresh basil leaves while everything is still hot.
Add the cooked rice to a serving tray or bowl.
Spoon the Thai basil beef generously over the rice.
Finish with spring onions and lime wedges.
Add extra chillies, a fried egg, coriander, or sriracha if using.
Serve immediately while still steaming hot.
