     1/2   ts           Sesame oil
   1 1/2   ts           Ginger, minced
   1 1/4   c            Peas
   4                    Oil-packed sun-dried tomato

   4                    Scallions, thinly sliced
   3       tb           Cilantro, minced

  In a large saucepan, cover the rice with cold water.
  Rub the rice between your hands.  Drain well and
  repeat the rinsing process two more times. Return the
  rice to the pan, add 1-1/2 cups of cold water and let
  soak for 2 hours.  Bring the rice to a boil over high
  heat & cook until the rice is tender.  Fluff with a
  fork.
  
  In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, chicken
  stock, soy sauce, wine, sugar, sesame oil and a pinch
  of white pepper.
  
  Set a wok over high heat for 30 seconds.  Add the
  peanut oil and swirl to coat until a wisp of white
  smoke appears.  Add the ginger and stir-fry for 20
  seconds.  Add the cooked rice and stir fry until very
  hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
  
  Add the oyster sauce mixture to the wok and stir until
  the rice is thoroughly coated.  Stir in the sun-dried
  tomatoes, scallions & cilantro, mix well and serve.
