Good fried rice must have the grains separated, the egg fried well, not soggy and not burnt. The rest such as onions, garlic, salted fish, prawns, crab meat are secondary but does help. So good rice is important.

There was a Chinese Restaurant in the old Straits Trading Building, Battery Road that did it very well.

Have not taste good fried rice from outside for a long time (6-7 years). Fried rice secret is overnight rice and cast iron wok. The rice need to be a little 'chao tar'. Ingredients are secondary and this dish really need skills. For those prefer plainer, use light soya sauce. If you like stronger taste, use fish sauce. Fragrance of salted fish is very 'sharp' so it's easy to make the plain fried rice smells good.

Spent a lot of time and money cooking this 'simple' dish and till now, not always satisfied but better than the ones outside.

Can think of worse things (Raiders capable of) :p

bro...fire also important .

bro...fire also important .

yes fire and cast iron wok will give the wok hei.....

bro...fire also important .

Yes, bro. Forgot about this. High heat for a short time and lot's of 'throwing and flipping'. I not very good in this part cos' throw one time, 1/3 rice out of the wok. Throw a few more times, left 1/4 rice. The throwing and flipping of rice is important so that the rice are evenly cooked from all sides.

Unfortunately, my apartment does not allow gas cookers so I can only use induction cookers which is not easy to control the heat. Either very big or very small. :(

Wok hei is not easy. Need lots of practice. I sometimes can get it but most of the time cannot. Read somewhere the wok hei is easier to achieve with an old wok than a new wok.

Another problem is the stove. The professional Zhi Char stove different from the home stoves. Professional stove machiam got after burner.

get a bigger wok bro.......i used to have same problem.....spatula got can manoeuvre more freely too with bigger wok.
in restaurants chefs control fire with foot pedal.....my dream kitchen will have one too.....

the best fried rice i've ever had was flying fish roe (topiko) fried rice with crab meat. cooked by a hongkie chef at cache creek casino. he topped the rice with a big scoop of topiko last as garnish before serving. we mixed them up before eating, and every grain of rice seemed to pop in the mouth.

Anyone tried a corner stall situated at Chinatown hawker center selling just fried rice?, they practically steamed the rice, didnt cook the rice in a traditional way (water and rice), they soaked the rice overnight and out it in a cloth covered wooded tub and steam it. Once ready, they fried it in YanZhou fried rice style, the chilli quite nice also...

yes! sometime wok hei hard to achieve at home due to the stove at home. those stoves use in chinese restaurant and zhi char stall fire shoot out like after burner.
