Hi Andrew, thanks for the post and great ideas for leftovers is always welcome.
I regards to your recipe, I have gone throughout a lot of trial and error in making the perfect fried rice over the years and finally got it to a tee so I thought I would share.
I always use par boiled rice as it is best for fried rice. Other rice varieties tend to become mushy when frying and tends to stick to the pan or wok. I cook the rice in advance, then cool and refrigerate. Once cooled, pull from fridge, it will be hard and clumpy, simply squeeze with your hands and it will separate nicely to individual grains.
When you are ready to fry, what I do is fry chopped onions with garlic and peas, but I add a touch of sesame seed oil as it adds a nice flavor, then add a touch of garlic-chili sauce to the oil near the end then add the cooked chichen or pork near the end to heat up, then transfer to a bowl. Note: the chili adds a little heat, don't add if you don't want it spicy.
Once this is done, I am ready to fry my rice, but here is the secret, just before you fry the rice, add 1-2 raw eggs and mix the rice thoroughly, this will prevent the rice from sticking to the pan. The I fry the rice quickly, then add the meat/peas/onion mixture and soy sauce to taste.
Whenever I make this, everyone asks me for the recipe and how the rice stays separated. There is no right or wrong way and everyone has a preference, this is what has worked for me.
Thanks for the idea of adding the pulled pork, it's now on my checklist.
