Cashew and Ginger fried rice

I try and pick at least a couple nights a week that are meat free. Since I still want to include a protein in our dinners, fried rice with nuts or eggs is a great alternative. This is incredibly easy to make and you can do the rice up the day before and stick it in the fridge. 15 minutes, tops, from start to finish if you already have the rice. You can throw in water chestnuts or those little mini corn on the cobs if you have them. A perfect weeknight meal and it makes lots of leftovers (for us anyhow) to send for lunch!
