Air Fry Salmon Fish

Salmon has a beautiful natural sweet flavour. It doesn't require a lot of work to cook it and the easiest way to have a crispy skinned Salmon is by air frying it.

Ingredients:

1 piece of Salmon

1 small cupped onion and the garlic. Brown onion and garlic with 2 tablespoon and set it aside for later

Make the sauce using:

2 tablespoons of light Soya sauce

2 tablespoons of cooking wine

6 tablespoons of water

A handful of chopped spring onions

Combine all and set it aside

Cooking:

Lightly coat Salmon with 1 tablespoon of rice bran oil.

Cook Salmon in the air fryer for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. Place the skin face up first.

Turn the fish after the first 15 minutes is done. Resume cooking for 10 minutes at 160 degree.

When the air frying is done, place fish on a plate. 

Pour cooked onion and garlic on the fish

Microwave the sauce for 1 minute. Pour sauce on the fish when done.

Air Fry Eggplant

Eggplant is not easy to cook. It holds a lot of moisture inside depends on the type of Eggplant selected. The easiest way to cook it well and reduce moisture is baking in an oven which could take from 40 minutes to an hour.

Using the air fryer is slightly quicker and it get cooked more thoroughly.

Ingredients:

• 300g minced pork. Pre-marinated with cooking wine, pinch of salt, pinch of pepper and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
• 1 large eggplant. Cut up in small cube shape.
• 1 large onion
• Some garlic, spring onions and chilli.
• Make a sauce with:
• 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce,
• a generous pinch of pepper
• 2 tablespoon of cooking wine
• 2 tablespoons of  light soya sauce
• 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir well and set it aside for later

Cooking:

• Cook cut eggplant in the air fryer for 10 minutes on 180c. When the timer stops, pull out the basket, give the eggplant a good shake and then resume air fryer for a further 10 minutes.
• While the eggplant is cooking, start cooking the minced pork. 
• Brown the cut onion with some olive oil first. Then add in garlic gradually. Toss in the minced pork and cook on medium heat.
• When the egg plant is done and all fry up. combine it with the minced pork in the work.
• Stir the contents well for 5 minutes then add in the sauce and stir for a further 8 minutes.
• Last step is adding the cut spring onion and chopped chili. Turn off the stove and stir the contents thoroughly. Serve hot on a large plate.

Air Fry Thai Chicken and Cashew Nut

Today I am trying a fancy Chicken and Cashew Nut dish using the Phillip Air Fryer. Air frying chicken breast meat is just so good, the meat is moist and succulent if you've the temperature set correctly.

Ingredients:

1. 400g chicken thighs, pre-marinated with one tablespoon of chinese cooking wine, one teaspoon of soy sauce and a sprinkle of pepper. Let it sit for 2 hours.
2. A large cup of chopped long beans.
3. A large cup of chopped button mushrooms and red capsicium.
4. One peeled and chopped onion.
5. One garlic.
6. One cup of roasted cashew nut. 
7. A pack of chicken and cashew nut cooking sauce from a local supermarket

Cooking:
Cook chicken thighs in 160c for 15minutes. Meat won't be completely cooked but that's ok as I will stir fry a little with the vegetables in the fry pan later. Why this step? so that the meat will absorb that nice onion and garlic flavour when cooked further with them.

Lightly coat the vegetables (long beans, mushrooms, capsicium) with 2 tablespoon of olive oil, toss them all into the air fryer, cook for 12 minutes for 180c.

2 tablespoon of olive oil into the fry pan. Brown the onions then garlic.
Add chicken thighs. Stir them for 5 minutes.
Add all cooked vegetables and cashew nuts and stir them for another 3 minutes on high heat.
Add chicken and cashew nut sauce. Turn the heat down to medium and stir everything in the pan for 5 minutes.

Done. A restaurant-quality chicken cashew nut dish.
