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.

FRIED RICE WITH EGG
It's simple to change this dish by adding two cups of cooked diced shrimp or chicken instead of egg, says Wilson. If you have a Chinese grocery store where you live, you can sometimes get a nice piece of seasoned and cooked roast pork, already cut into little pieces, and then you can have "roast pork and fried rice," which he knows is a real American favorite.

Steps:
- At least 1 day before you plan to make the fried rice, place the rinsed rice in a heavy, medium-sized saucepan. Add 2 cups of cold water and salt, to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, and cook at a gentle boil until the water has cooked down to the level of the rice. With a spoon (not a fork), stir the rice well. Cover, and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork. Cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating for 24 hours.
- Break up any clumps of the cold rice with your fingers and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the oyster sauce and soy sauce and set aside.
- Coat a large, nonstick skillet with nonstick vegetable spray and set over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the eggs, swirling them around to make sure they coat the whole bottom of the pan. Cook, without stirring, and adjusting the heat as necessary, until the eggs are firm and cooked through but not yet starting to brown, lifting the skillet and tilting it so that the eggs cook evenly. Slide the eggs onto a plate and when they have cooled, cut into small pieces and set aside.
- Return the skillet to the burner and heat the oil over high heat. When it is hot, add the peas and scallions, and cook, stirring constantly, until the scallions are limp, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, sauce mixture, eggs and roast pork until well mixed. Continue to cook, stirring, until the rice is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Plate and drizzle with sesame oil, to taste.

- Choosing the Right Rice: Use day-old, medium-grain or long-grain rice, as it holds its shape well and doesn't become mushy.
- Seasoning the Rice: Before cooking the rice, toss it with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of sesame oil to enhance its flavor.
- Using Fresh Vegetables: Opt for fresh and crunchy vegetables like carrots, peas, corn, and bell peppers. Cut them into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Cooking the Vegetables: Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat to retain their vibrant colors and crisp texture.
- Adding Protein: Incorporate your favorite protein, such as chicken, shrimp, beef, or tofu, and marinate it beforehand for extra flavor.
- Using Eggs: Scramble or beat the eggs separately before adding them to the rice, ensuring they remain light and fluffy.
- Seasoning the Fried Rice: Use a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper to create a flavorful and aromatic sauce for the rice.
- Cooking the Fried Rice: Cook the rice in a well-seasoned wok or large skillet over high heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
