Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cashews. Toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool.
  2. In the same skillet, add a small amount of oil if needed. Add the garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until aromatic but not browned.
  3. Add the sautéed green onions to the skillet and cook for another minute to warm through.
  4. Pour the 6 cups of hot cooked rice into the skillet. Gently fold the rice with the aromatics, ensuring it is evenly coated and heated through.
  5. Stir in the toasted cashews gently to distribute them throughout the rice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve immediately.
