Stir in the lettuce, soy sauce, sugar and seasoning. Transfer to a warmed serving bowl, sprinkle with the chopped cashew nuts and serve immediately.

I had this for an early dinner today but I kinda cheated and used left over rice. I didnt think I would like the addition of lettuce but I did in the end. A great and diffrent fried rice recipe I plan on playing around with some more with diffrent veggies and meat combos. Very good! Made for PAC 07!
