Kale and Roasted Cashew Fried Rice

Fried rice is one of my favorite foods to make at home. It comes together in under 20 minutes, and you can pretty much add whatever you want in it. The trick to getting the perfect toasty and semi-crispy rice is to use cold rice, so fried rice is always my go to whenever I have leftover rice in the refrigerator.

This fried rice is made with brown basmati rice, lots of kale, and roasted cashews. Think fried rice from your favorite Thai restaurant, but made at home … and tastier … and healthier.

This recipe is similar to my Shrimp Fried Rice and this easy Pineapple Fried Rice.

It makes a great lunch and an even better dinner! I like to stir fry some chicken, shrimp, or even steak and toss it in the mix – it’s SO delicious.

p.s. here are 26 reasons you should be eating more kale!!
