Ingredients

2 cups White Rice cooked (chilled or day old rice)
1 cup Mixed Vegetables frozen (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
½ cup Cashews raw
2 large Eggs lightly beaten
2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce optional
2 cloves Garlic minced
½ teaspoon Ginger minced
2 Green Onions sliced
Salt
Pepper

Instructions

Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Let it cool completely. You can also make the rice a few hours ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator, or store it overnight.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Set aside until ready to use.
Slice the green onion and set aside.
Heat a large wok or a large skillets over medium-high heat. Add one tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, saute for about 30 seconds. Add the cooked rice and stir fry for about 1 - 2 minutes.
When the rice is warm, push it to the sides of the skillet or wok. Add the frozen vegetables and stir fry for a moment until they start to warm through.
Mix the vegetables together with the rice and continue to stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender and heated clear through.
Add the reserved sauce to the rice mixture. Coat the rice well with the sauce.
Push the rice and vegetable mixture to the side again and add the cashews to the middle of the pan.
Stir fry for another minute or two while the cashews toast slightly.
Push everything to the side one more time and add the beaten eggs to the middle of the pan. Scramble the egg.
Once the egg is scrambled, mix everything together. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
Remove the pan from the heat and garnish the Cashew Fried Rice with sliced green onions.
