Instructions
Scramble the Eggs
Heat a large wok over high heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them quickly for about 1 minute until just set. Push them to the side of the wok.
Fry the Rice
Add another tablespoon of oil to the empty side of the wok and add the day-old rice. Press it flat and let it fry undisturbed for 2 minutes to develop a lightly crispy bottom, then toss everything together.
Add Pineapple and Sauce
Push the rice to the sides and add the diced pineapple to the center of the wok. Let it caramelize for 2 minutes before tossing with the rice. Pour in the soy sauce and toss everything to combine.
Finish with Cashews and Onions
Remove the wok from heat and fold in the roasted cashews and sliced green onions. Serve immediately for the best texture, as the cashews will soften over time.
