Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine with vegetables.

Return scrambled eggs to the skillet and gently fold into the rice. Add roasted cashews, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
# Extra Tips:

Using day-old rice helps prevent clumping and results in better texture during stir-frying.

Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the balance of soy, fish sauce, and sugar.
03 -
Garnish with additional cilantro and lime juice just before serving for extra brightness.
