Curry Fried Rice As Made By Liz Murphy
This recipe is a wonderful example of using what you already have in your fridge; it's the perfect way to transform leftover rice and whatever veggies you have on hand. I was inspired by my favorite local Thai restaurant to add the fabulous flavors of curry and turmeric to classic fried rice. I used to love ordering their curry fried rice, but wanted to make a vegan version. This dish is incredibly simple and makes a delicious quick meal.

Preparation
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot, garlic, and ginger and sauté for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shallot is translucent and beginning to caramelize.

- Add the cashews and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until toasted.
- Add the rice, tamari, curry powder, turmeric, and cayenne. Stir to combine, then spread the rice in an even layer and cook without disturbing for 4–6 minutes, until a crust starts to form.
