haven't tried out this one yet, but it sounds great!
CASHEW FRIED RICE [by Chef Vicki-Recipe Rehab]

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 small white onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 tablespoons vegan oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 tablespoon turmeric powder (Season to your taste)
4 cups brown rice (I'm using brown Jasmine)
3/4 cup toasted unsalted cashews
2 to 4 tablespoons lite soy sauce (Season to taste)
3-4 scallions, chopped
½ cup Thai basil leaves
2 teaspoons black sesame seeds (for garnish)
Start by dicing 1 onion and 1 red pepper.

In a large non-stick pan on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Once the oil is melted and the pan is hot, add 1 diced onion, and 1 diced red pepper. Cook the onion and red pepper until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add 1 cup thawed frozen peas, and 2 tablespoons vegan oyster sauce to the pan, and sauté for 1-2 more minutes until all of the veggies are coated and the peas are heated through. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and reserve.

In the same pan on medium heat, add sesame oil and turmeric powder to the pan. Next, add the cooked brown rice, and sauté it in the oil and spice for a few minutes, or until just warmed through. Add ¾ of a cup of toasted unsalted cashews, and 4 tablespoons of the liquid amino acids, and stir until the rice and nuts are thoroughly coated with the amino acids for 1 minute or so.

Add the reserved veggie mixture to the rice mixture. Mix both together until everything is well incorporated and heated through, about 1 more minute.

Turn off the heat. Top with 3 chopped scallions, ½ cup of Thai basil leaves, and 2 teaspoons of black sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!

Note: I did jig the recipe a bit to my taste. Some of the seasoning was pretty intense.
