Garlicky Broccoli Cashew Fried Rice

This 7 ingredient fried rice is incredibly easy.

I'm a huge garlic fan, but if you're not as much, feel free to cut down on the garlic. This recipe also uses a fair amount of olive oil, so be sure to use fresh oil that was sourced close to home.

Garlicky Broccoli Cashew Fried Rice by Mr. Peasy

Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 + 1 Tbsp olive oil (3 Tbsp to start, one set aside)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3/4 cup raw cashews
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp salt

For the rice, I used a medium grain Japanese rice, but I generally use that for everything. I'm not picky if you're not picky. Leftovers that have been sitting in the refrigerator for a day or so would probably work great.

1. Chop the garlic roughly. I like larger pieces of garlic, so I made sure to keep a good portion of the pieces pretty sizable.

2. Over medium heat, saute the garlic in a large skillet or wok in 3 Tbsp olive oil. After a minute or so, add broccoli and cashews and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add another 1 Tbsp olive oil and then dump in the rice, 2 Tbsp soy sauce and 1/4 tsp salt. Continue to saute, using the spatula to get everything mixed together, then remove from heat and serve.
