Here is how I make Fried Rice...

A wonderful recipe. Good luck!

1.5 cups rice
2 cups water
4 eggs (2 eggs only whites, 2 eggs with the yolks)
meat (optional - pork, chicken)
green onion / white onion / celery / bell pepper / broccoli / frozen peas / any crisp vegetable, diced
1 ounce dark sesame oil
2 ounces canola oil
salt (Seasoned Salt is fine)

Early in the day (or the day before): Cook rice. I use 1.5 cups of rice to 2 cups water in a rice cooker. LET THE RICE COOL to room temperature, or put it in the refrigerator if you cook the rice the day before. When the rice is cool, here's what you do:

Mix the eggs (2 full eggs, 2 egg whites) and an ounce of the canola oil and the ounce of dark sesame oil, scramble them up. The key ingredient in this whole thing is the dark sesame oil, so don't forget that. Pour the other ounce of canola oil in the bottom of a wok or deep frying pan. Get it hot. When the oil is hot... Add the egg mixture to the wok. Scramble this up, don't let it form a big flapjack in the pan. Get this looking like oily scrambled eggs.

Add the meat (make sure it's already cooked - that's why I suggest leftovers - or if not, cook it in the wok before you add the eggs). The meat should be diced as well. Scramble the meat, eggs and oil up good! Add the rice a little at a time, making sure to break up the clumps as you go. When you've added all the rice, add the vegetables - you add them last so they will remain crisp. Frozen peas are wonderful in this stuff.

Mix and evenly heat all that stuff in the wok. Keep the heat on medium, and constantly stir. Add some salt and taste it as you go. Add pepper if you wish, but I find the dark sesame oil gets it spicy enough.
