Vietnamese-Style Spicy Fried Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 cups cooked long-grain rice (1 1/3 cups raw)
    1/2 cup dried shrimp
    4 teaspoons peanut oil
    1 large onion, sliced
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    1/4 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts
    4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh lemongrass
    2 teaspoons ground turmeric
    1 small fresh red chili pepper, finely chopped
    4 teaspoons vietnamese fish sauce
    4 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preparation
    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.
