My husband makes the best fried rice. This is his fried rice with cashews. I recently posted about his Stir Fried Quinoa, which is also delicious. That day, we were out of some of the main ingredients so he improvised. This is the real version.
I could literally eat this entire bowl. Since there is wild rice as well as cashews, this can be considered a full meal and not just as side dish. It would a great Meatless Monday dish. This is also a meal that comes together in minutes. I am all about easy meals.
