My second time trying to make it, first time not just making it out of random leftovers. It tastes pretty fucking good imo but I'm wondering what others think of it or if they have any tips.

I finally did it right for the first time tonight.
Garlic, ginger, onion, green onion.
Cold rice.
Oyster sauce and soy sauce mixed together.
Chicken thighs.
Peas.
Pretty tasty.. even though I forgot the carrots. I think the ginger really added a lot of depth to it.

I fried my onions in peanut oil after precooking my chicken in pepper oil, then tossed the onions before I threw the rice in. I also added chicken bouillon and a bit of sweet curry powder to the rice when I made it a few days ago. Then once I put the rice into the oil and let it fry a bit I threw in the carrots, peppers, peas, and chicken. After this I added chili garlic sauce, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, some red curry paste, and a dab more chicken bouillon to it with a bit more peanut oil and let it fry at high heat for ~10 minutes (I think). Wa-la.

When I make fried rice, I basically follow that video. As a fatass, I also like to add some sharp cheese to the fried rice and a bit of hot sauce.

Frankly I'm disgusted.

I wish spam weren't so goddamned salty. I used it in fried rice and every bit of spam was like a greasy salt bomb. It was even the low sodium kind.

dont know man, it looks mushy,soggy and overloaded, not exactly attributed of good fried rice.
next time try this
>day/2 day old rice
>add oil (large amount, like 1 cup for 4 cups rice as a guess)without taste to non-coated pan, high heat
>break up rice and make sure every grain is seperated and coated with some oil, if oil is not enough add a bit more
now you can either let the rice get a hard sear/crust (which you should) by only flipping it occasionaly,or continue to stirfry it til hot.
roundcorn rice works best
at this point you can add any other sauces or ingredients, meat/fish i would cook seperately and add, sauces id stick to sesameoil and soysauce mostly, make some space in the pan and scramble an egg with chopsticks, springonions are the best veg,
Lastly, variations are endless, sometimes i brown some soft kolbasz in butter and oil til crispy/chewy and then do the remaining steps, sometimes i finish with a sichuan sauce; just use whatever you got,get that crust on the rice, and sauce it in the end if thats what you want
