Here we are at the-
- [Both] Rice farm.
- [Cookie Monster] Hello, Mr. Rice Farmer.
We need rice to make veggie fried rice.
Can you help us, please?
- Hello, Cookie Monster and Gonger.
Welcome to the rice farm.
Sure, I can help you.
Rice is a grain.
It starts out as seeds that get planted
in a nursery field called a rice patty.
To plant the seeds, the farmer uses the machine
called a rice planter.
It spreads the dirt, drops the seeds
and then covers them back up with dirt.
Seeds become seedlings within a week.
Then 21 days later, the field is covered in water.
Then the water is drained so the rice can be harvested.
A machine caught a harvester cuts the rice stalks.
Then trucks take the rice to a silo
where the rice is dried out using fans.
After the rice stalks are dry, it is taken to a mill.
There, a machine called a thresher separates the rice
from the stalks.
Finally, a machine called a husker removes the husks.
And now, you have healthy brown rice.
Here's some rice to make fried rice,
Cookie Monster and Gonger.
- [Cookie Monster] Oh, thank you, Mr. Rice Farmer.

Now me wonder how we cook vegetable fried rice?
How we do this?
- Well, what if we take a little looky at the recipe.
- Well, okay. Let's try.
- Okay, so first, we have to cook the rice.
So put two cups of rice in the rice cooker.
- One cup of rice, two cups of rice.
- And while we wait for the rice,
we heat up the vegetable oil in the wok.
Oh, and now, mince the garlic.
- [Cookie Monster] Mincy, mincy, mincy.
- And add one cup of chopped carrot.
- Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.
One cup chopped carrots.
- Oh, next is one cup of broccoli.
- One cup broccoli.
- Next, one half cup of peas.
- Hey, me getting pretty good at this measuring stuff, huh?
- Yeah, you are!
Okay, now cook the garlic, the carrots,
the broccoli and the peas in the wok,
and then stir 'em.
Stir, stir, stir.

Ooh, that sound means the rice is cooked.
Add the rice to the wok, and mix 'em!
And next, add the egg.
Now, we drizzle some soy sauce and some sesame oil.
