Air Fried Sticky Mushroom Rice will knock your socks off. This sweet and spicy sauce to toss with Jasmine rice is fast and easy. There’s a skillet option too!
Air Fryers are my new passion. Yes, I still love slow cookers and I have a beautiful Instant Pot waiting in the wings but the Air Fryer
A couple of weeks ago I showed you a new recipe for Air Fried Spicy Cauliflower Stir-Fry and it has gone bonkers on the internet. There is also high expectation going on around our house for Air Fried Sticky Mushroom Rice too. So so good!
Things happen fast with an air fryer so you can’t walk away like you can with a slow cooker but you’ll benefit from the same safety features. The ones like making it much harder to burn your food or yourself. It all just seems so much easier.
Jasmine rice is used as the base for this spicy sweet sauce. A wonderful multi-layered sauce filled with baby portabella mushrooms. You don’t even have to cut them up. Cremini mushrooms are the same thing if you haven’t had them before. It’s a mushroom with substance!
Air Fried Sticky Mushroom Rice only takes minutes from beginning end and you’ll have a flavorful new side dish. You’ll want to maker over and over again. I sure do!
Air Fried Sticky Mushroom Rice
Air Fried Sticky Mushroom Rice will knock your socks off. There's a skillet option too!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces jasmine rice uncooked
- 1/2 cup soy sauce you can use gluten free tamari
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions
Start your rice now so that it will be done and hot at the same time as the sauce.
Mix the next 6 ingredients together and set aside..
Place the mushrooms in the air fryer. If you can set your degrees - set it to 350 degrees. Otherwise just turn it on. My Air Fryer temp is built in and always cooks at 338 degrees. Cook for 10 minutes.
Open the air fryer, if you don't have a self stirrer, pull out the pot and shake.
Pour the liquid mixture and peas over the top of the mushrooms. Stir and cook 5 more minutes.
Pour the mushroom/pea sauce over the pot of rice and stir. Serve.

Mix the next 6 ingredients and pour over the mushrooms. Add the peas and cook 5 more minutes.
Add the cooked rice, stir well and heat through.

Well, there are inserts you can buy Sue. This is a link so you can see what it looks like. http://amzn.to/2CPyBsf There are also instructions at the end of the recipe under Recipe Notes. It tells you how to make this in a skillet.
Sue says
Mine has wholes and no pan. Non of my pans fit in it. Suggestions?
Ginny McMeans says
I don’t have any holes in my air fryer. It’s a solid pan. I just looked at images on google and some do have holes in the bottom. I have a T-fal. You are not missing anything. Does a solid pan come with yours that you can switch out?
Judy shelton says
Are you cooking the mushroom in a separate solid pan in the air fryer. If not, doesn’t the liquid fall straight through? Or am I missing a step?
Ginny McMeans says
They are actually fun to use Linda. You can use your skillet in the meantime 🙂
Ginny McMeans says
Haha Mel. I thought I was the last one. Yes, I got an air fryer, have dove in full force and love it. 🙂
Ginny McMeans says
That’s awesome Kristina! It’s different and delicious 🙂
Linda @ Veganosity says
This looks and sounds amazing, Ginny! I really need to bite the bullet and buy an air fryer.
Mel \ avirtualvegan.com says
Not you as well! I feel like I am the only one on the planet who doesn’t have an air fryer! I’ll stick to the skillet option for now but maybe one day I can give it a try in an air fryer :O) It looks so good!
Kristina says
WOW – I have used my (awesome) air fryer for quite a few different ideas, but fried rice? I LOVE it – cannot wait to try!
Ginny McMeans says
Thanks so much Dianne! I love the combo too.
Dianne says
Mushrooms and brown rice are so good together. I could happily live off this recipe!
Ginny McMeans says
Fantastic! You’ll love it 🙂
Sophia | Veggies Don't Bite says
I love mushrooms!!! And I love fried rice so this looks right up my alley!
Ginny McMeans says
I love that little appliance Jenn. You have the rice separate and then mix all the air fryer sticky goodness in with the cooked rice. Thanks so much!
Ginny McMeans says
Oh, those silly boys. 🙂 You’re going to love it Becky and thank so much!
Becky Striepe says
Oh my gosh, this looks so good! Dave and Darrol are both mushroom-haters, so I’ll have to make this just for me one day at lunchtime!
Jenn says
You had me at mushrooms – love them so much! I can’t believe you can make rice in an air fryer! Is there anything that little appliance can’t do? 🙂
