Make

Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil and then eggs. Scramble eggs until they are cooked to your liking. Set eggs aside and return wok to heat.
Add second part of cooking oil and then bell peppers and kale stems to heated oil. Saute until bell peppers are tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add white parts of green onions (reserve green parts) and saute until fragrant, ~1 minute more.
Add leftover rice, kale leaves, and pineapple and stir to combine.
Push all ingredients to the side, forming a donut in the middle of the wok. Pour in sauce and simmer until it thickens slightly.
Add cashews and scrambled eggs and stir to coat everything in sauce.
Divide fried rice between bowls and top with sesame seeds (if using), green parts of green onions, and lime wedges.
Finish fried rice with Sriracha (or another hot sauce) at the table if you’d like. Enjoy!
