I make this when I have extra rice left over from another meal. It's easy and delicious and you can use any
vegetables you have in your kitchen, but some people also use small pieces of fish or meat. If you want to do
this, cook the meat first.
First, heat 2 big spoonfuls of oil in a frying pan, until it's quite hot. The pan has to be big and not very deep so
everything cooks fast.
Next, cut all the vegetables into very small pieces with a large knife. Add them to the hot oil and cook them for a few
minutes, until they start to get soft.
Then mix in the cooked rice. Be careful that the cooker doesn't get too hot. Continue mixing, to make sure all the
rice is hot.
After that, take the pan off the cooker. Make a small hole in the middle of the rice using a spoon. Break the egg into
the hole and quickly mix it into the rice and vegetables.
When it's mixed, add salt and pepper. Your fried rice is ready to eat!

Making water
Some interesting new ways of making water in dry parts of the world.
A What can we do about the problem of water? Clean drinking water is a
basic need for all people, but not everyone can get it easily. In some dry
places, like deserts, it is expensive to transport water, difficult to store it,
and if a water system stops working, an engineer is needed to repair it
but sometimes the nearest engineer is miles away.

places. It is simple - they have made machines that take water from the
air. There were already a few machines like this, but they didn't make
