Place the rice in a bowl and toss with the oil and red curry paste. Spread the rice evenly in an air fryer and cook at 200°C for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.
For the dressing, blend all the ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
To assemble the salad, combine the crispy rice, cucumber, red onion, spring onion, Thai basil, coriander, and roasted peanuts in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss until everything is evenly coated. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with extra herbs, peanuts, and a drizzle of chilli oil if desired. Serve immediately.
