I love chinese fried rice and have almost perfected this. I use a rice cooker. But you could make it anyway you like. Pick a good rice. There are so many to choose from as well. I like to use Rooster Rice. I usually throw in 3 cups of rice. Wash it and wash it till the water is almost clear. That is one key with alot of rice. Not all needs to be washed but I find that it doesn't clump as much. I throw it in the rice cooker with 3 cups of water and a bit more. I like fluffy rice as well so hence the adding a little more water. Making rice tip. (equal parts ex. 2 cups rice to 2 cups of water.) After the rice is done I throw it in a really good frying pan. I use a teflon pan. I throw in some peas, pork chicken really anything that you want in it. I use soya sauce but a light one or a new product that I have been buying. It comes in a spray and its like soya sauce. I will have to look it up for you and get back to you.

The soya sauce I use is call Bragg - All Purpose Seasoning. It has less salt than soya sauce. You can buy it at a health food store. Well that's where I get mine from. The instant noodles packages of seasonings that we don't use I throw that sometimes in as well. You can also get OXO seasonings in beef or chicken. I would suggest to use the chicken with chicken and what not.

Making fried rice is very very easy dear. Fried rice is cooked on a high flame and the trick is to cut the vegetables small, so that they donot remain raw inside. It requires vigorous stirring though.
If you want the method tell me. i will certainly help you out.

I make fried rice in following way:
1,take some rice and put in a electric cooker and add some water. when you put you hand on the water, the water should over half of the back of you hand. And then boil the water with rice and take another 6-7 min. after the water have make the rice soft and cooked, open the cover of the electric cooker and make the rice cold. it Normal take around 0.5 hours. And take the rice out of the cooker.
2,druing above process, you can prepare some vegetable,radish, Ginger, garlic and some meat and egg.wash them and cut it in small peiece.
3,heat a pot, and then add some oil and put the ginger, garlic in it after the oil been boiled. and use a pancake turner to mix them and then put the meat and radish in. and cover the cover around 10 mins. add some salt and sauce and put them on a dish.
4, disperse the cold rice and then put some oil in the pot and put the rice on the pot. and mix them. you need to keep beating it up to avoid to make it be burnt. and add some oil after you beat up it some mins. the process need around 15 mins.and then add some salt and sauce and open the chorion and put the liquid in the pot and mix it. and then put the cooked meat and radish and some on tegther. then a good fried rice is ready. pls try.
