Moving to a new city has taken far more time than we anticipated. Our son, who is 14, had to start at another school. He took some fried rice to school one day for lunch and came home hungry because his friends had eaten it all, declaring that it was the "best fried rice they had ever tasted" and "can you bring some more tomorrow?". He now takes three containers every Friday which he shares with his friends. Food as a bridge to friendship, a good thought.

Seasoning: 2 tablespoons of oil, a little salt (to taste), 1 tablespoon of regular Soya sauce.
Preparation: Cook the rice the day before (see ‘How to Cook Rice). The grains must be able to separate easily. Put the dried mushroom into water at least 2 hours before you cook.
