Fried rice is one of my favorite meals. I have many variations on my blog, click on the label "fried rice" to get to all of them.
As for this recipe, I would substitute white rice since I don't care for brown rice. Also, I would use pork chunks. I love the idea of cashews! I typically use bean sprouts or water chestnuts.
Fried rice is one of those recipes you can adapt to your preferences or what is available in your refrigerator.

Cook the sausage over medium heat until cooked through completely, set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the rice and lightly fry, 5-7 minutes.
Create a well in the center of the rice. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, then add the beaten eggs. Cook the eggs, gradually stirring them into the rice.
Add the carrots, peas, and cashews. Cook for an additional 3-5. Stir in the green onions and serve.
