How can I make home-made Egg-fried Rice?

why would you want to? its only a quid at the chinky and you get to eat those free prawn crackers they put on the counter while you're in there! bonus!

Already got some good ideas there, but one tip, it's best to let the rice go cold between boiling and stir-frying.

Egg fried rice the way it is made at a take away is cooked rice. Best to cook either the day before of in the morning. It needs to be cold otherwise when you cook it it will turn to mush and burn. Separate the rice when it has called. Get 1 egg beat it and fry it quickly in your wok then add the rice and heat through. At the takeaway the add salt and MSG. If you don't have MSG just add a little rice. You can add a little water if it is to dry. But ONLY a tiny amount. Just keep tasting it as your cooking. To the person who said go to the chinky!! Chinky is a racist word and I suggest you don't say it to a Chinese person. From Stacey Chan

This is the Chinese style of cooking fried rice. Use cooked overnight cold rice - you can season it with salt, sugar, pepper, oyster sauce before cooking. First fry lightly beaten eggs, breaking them into small pieces as you fry, and remove. Then fry some chopped garlic and onions with some cooking oil until fragrant, toss in meat/prawn (prawns are more yummy!), add seasoning to taste and sautee until cooked. Add in some pre-boiled mixed vegetables and cold rice and mix evenly. Lastly, add in the eggs cooked earlier.. and voila! you have a simple and fast meal!! For kicks, have the fried rice with chopped chillies and soya sauce...

Get some eggs and rice and fry them together.... in a pan

when they make it at benny hanna (totally do not know how to spell that) they take rice, scrambled egg, carrot, peas, and onions mix it all up and fry it. looks easy enough

The eggs need to go in first otherwise it will all go soggy. When they are nicely scrambled, add the cooked rice. Add spring onion for extra bite.

Eggs, and boiled rice, mixed
