When she learns about the Japanese tradition of \"mottainai\"--never wasting what's too good to throw away--Fern is inspired to create a meal to share with her friends. Together with her mama, she stirs up a wok of fried rice filled with everyone's favorite flavors: curry spices, carnitas, pilaf, bok choy, and more.
