I recently made cashew nut milk and could not get myself to get rid of the pulp; I felt like I was wasting a delicious and I dare say expensive product. I am aware there are genius ways in which nut or seed pulp can be used in sweet recipes but I wanted to test this ingredient in something savory. Hence, Cashew nut pulp rice. It is simply vegan fried rice with veggies and fragrant spices with the addition of cashew nut pulp.

Among the different dairy free milks I use in my smoothies, cashew nut milk is one of my favorite. It is super creamy and so easy to make; soak the nuts overnight, drain, blend on high with water and pass through a cheese cloth.
