  All fried rice usually consists of is cold or cool rice mixed with eggs and
fryed. Typical embellishments include curry type spices (graham or just a
ginger/garlic mixture works very well). Adding whatever is available (spring
onions, leeks, tofu, sprouts, etc) works well, but they come out better if
added at the end.

  If you like meat, it works well to fry some meat in a pan, remove the meat
and use the grease to frye the rice, tossing the meat back in near the end.

  Cooking it is very simple -- oil in a pan (or wok if you have one) and
constant stirring until it looks done (no set temp. or anything). Major
problems arise from unwashed rice (the starch coating gums up everything)
so wash your rice well before cooking it. Also, make sure that the pan is
hot and has enough oil to overcome the rice soaking some of it up. Oleo
works very well.

  Seeing as this is the breakfast of millions (literally), it can't be that
hard to make. Give it a few trys -- rice and eggs are cheap.
