Black Pepper Fried Rice
with cashews / scrambled eggs

Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
With leftover rice from earlier in the week, this fried rice will come together super fast. A small amount of sauce goes a long way to flavor the rice, especially because it includes ginger, garlic, black pepper, and a bit of Hoisin sauce.
