 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.
