It's not hard to make. I'm not a professional, but I make this all the time at home. It's a good clean-out-the-refrigerator meal.

-Heat a few TBSP sesame oil in a wok or large skillet.
-Add diced garlic (a clove or two) and green onion (2 or 3) and saute quickly over high heat for 1 minute.
-Add cold leftover rice (about a cup), grated ginger, a TBSP of soy sauce and stir fry for about 2 minutes more.
-At this point, add whatever vegetables and/or meat you would like. It's best to add some that has been brought to room temperature. I usually use peas and carrots. But you can add pretty much anything you have left over.
-Make a hole in the center of the rice in your pan. Pour a beaten egg into that hole and then immediately stir the egg, and begin moving the rice back into the center of the pan. Stir-fry until the egg is incorporated into the rice and cooked through.
-Enjoy.

Super easy dish. Great for left-overs. You can add or take away as much as you like to the recipe to make it your own.

Good luck!

Please do not take offence at this, but I feel that you are being quite bias. There are plenty amateur chefs out there - lots of them are just as good as those "Professionals". So one may give you a good answer. The following is a true statement. approximately 17 years ago I was employed at an establishment where a certain "professional" Chef could not even make a decent omlette. The management soon became aware of this and not long after the company realised that he was not all (excuse the pun) that he was cracked up to be - He was fired and I got his job!!! I have no qualifications, experience counts for a lot!!

This coming from a pro - you can not make the rice the same at home as you get in the shop. There is special equipment you probably could not afford nor would you have room for in your house. Also we can get ingredients fresher and a higher quality than you can buy a supermarket. To get the same as we have you have to deal with major suppliers, and they are not going to make small drop shipments to you. This is all for a reason, we make our living by being able to provide something for you that you can not provide for yourself. You can come close but you will not be able to match the flavor exactly at home.
For those of you who trying to be helpful - here is a tip - the info is free but you supply the container. The best fried rice is make from left over rice - day old - yesterdays white rice offering. It needs to be refrigerated for at least 12 hours to set the glutens.

They key is to use cold, leftover rice from the day before. You cannot use freshly cooked hot rice!

Part of the price you're paying is for the myriad of ingredients that must be finely chopped up to go into the fried rice. But if you can keep up w/ the ingredients, and have time to chop them all up, it'd be good. This is the recipe I like.

FRIED RICE w/ HAM **
Serves 4.

3 large eggs, lightly beaten w/ 2 tsp. waer
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp. kosher or coarse salt
4 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally (both white and green parts)
4 garlic cloves, minced
5 oz. ham, thinly sliced and chopped**
4 cups cold cooked rice
¼ -½ tsp. sesame oil, or to taste
3 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 cup frozen peas, measured but still frozen
2 tsp. soy sauce, or to taste

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. oil, swirling to coat. Beat eggs, with 2 tsp. water and ½ tsp. coarse salt. Cook in skillet, moving cooked eggs aside gently to allow raw eggs to run in their place, about 2 minutes. Transfer to plate; when cool enough to handle, cut into strips.

In same skillet, heat remaining Tbsp. oil. Add garlic and scallions, heat and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ham and rice, season with salt and sesame oil, and cook until very hot, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar, peas, soy sauce, and eggs, cook until very hot, about 2 minutes.

**You can also use cooked shrimp, pork, chicken, beef, or tofu. Fried rice is a great way to use up leftovers.

- boil rice

- then in a hot pan (preferably a wok!), add some oil.

- then maybe add some garlic, ginger and spring onions for a bit.

- add rice.

- then i love to add some egg. mix it round until done, leave to rest for a tiny bit, then serve!
