- 4 cups cooked long-grain rice (1 1/3 cups raw)
- 1⁄2 cup dried shrimp
- 4 teaspoons peanut oil

- Allow the rice to completely dry out before beginning this dish.
- The easiest way to do this is to spread the rice evenly in a shallow dish, or on a tray, and leave uncovered in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next day, place the shrimp in a heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and allow to stand 30 minutes, or until soft, before draining.
- In a large wok, heat the groundnut oil and stir-fry the onion, garlic, peanuts, lemon grass and turmeric, until fragrant.
- Add the rice, shrimp and all the remaining ingredients and stir-fry until piping hot.
- Serve immediately.

<p>I was raised in a family that loves to travel, meet people from other countries, and taste new foods. We are quite 'international' - my brother's wife is Indian, my sister's husband is Swiss and my son's wife is of Swedish and Croatian origin. My little dogs are German - miniature Dachshunds.</p>
