CHINESE FRIED RICE
This Chinese fried rice has the flavor those other recipes are missing. Tastes like takeout. I want to dedicate this dish to Bergy, whose recipe "AM & B's Indonesian Mehoon" has inspired this dish. Make sure you season your rice with salt before it cooks. Add some butter to the cooking water, as well. Other seasonings should be added before you cook, as well, so it has time to get inside the rice. If you like sesame flavor, add 1 tsp. of it after you add the green onions, but do not use it as a cooking oil because it easily burns.

Steps:
- Cook your rice (I use a rice cooker). You want it a bit on the crunchy side, so even though you might want to add more water, DON'T.
- Let your rice cool completely (I spread it out on a baking sheet and put it in the freezer if I'm in a hurry). You can even cook your rice the night before and let cool in the fridge.
- Heat a wok over high heat with 1 tbs. of oil. Add eggs and scramble until cooked. Add ham and peas and fry for about a minute.(You can add or omit any veggie/meat combo you want.).
- Remove omelet from wok. Clean the wok out a bit so the leftover egg doesn't burn while you're heating up your wok and oil again.
- Add remaining oil to the wok and heat over high heat until it is very hot. Add your cold rice to the wok and stir to coat every grain. (You can add some more oil if you want; it just depends on how greasy you like it.).
- Add your chicken stock to the rice; do it a little bit at a time to give the rice a chance to soak up the liquid. I'm not sure exactly the amount of stock to be added; I eyeball it because it seems to change every time. Basically, you want the rice to soak up the flavor, but you don't want to put in too much as it will end up quite sticky.
- Stir fry for a while, stirring constantly until there is no liquid left, then chop up your omelet and add it, along with the soy sauce and salt. Stir. You can add more or less soy sauce and salt according to your taste. NOTE: In this case, the salt is simply to enhance the flavor of the dish, not to make it salty. And remember that soy sauce is salty in itself--unless you use the salt-free or low-salt type. (It is an MSG substitute.).
- Enjoy! It's the best homemade fried rice you'll ever make!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Cook the rice correctly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If the rice is overcooked, it will be mushy and bland.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will also add flavor to the dish.
- Heat the wok over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the rice and vegetables.
- Add the ingredients in the correct order: The order in which you add the ingredients is important. Start with the aromatics (such as garlic and ginger) and then add the vegetables. The meat and seafood should be added last.
- Stir-fry the rice continuously: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will also help to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Season the rice to taste: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Fried rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a restaurant-quality fried rice at home. So next time you're craving Chinese food, try making your own fried rice. You won't be disappointed!
