 Sample:
Well… One of Vietnamese dishes that I like is Fried rice (Cơm

every day, but I'd like to have it at the weekend. The main
ingredients of this dish are cooked rice, meat or sausage and
colourful vegetables chopped up into small pieces and mixed
together. Then we fry the ingredients slowly with cooking oil and
one or two eggs. When you fry the rice, you must stir it constantly
with a wooden spoon.
