I think the key to making Fried Rice is to stir fry each item separately. At least this is the way I like it best. I really do not have a recipe but here is what I use as a base.
Scrambled eggs
Shredded carrots
Chopped Onions
Mushrooms
Red, yellow and orange peppers
Sometimes I use a package of frozen mixed veggies or a bag of frozen peas
I use any leftover veggies in the refrig. It's a good way to use them.
Stir fried broccoli is good in it too.
Celery is good but I'm the only one here who likes it.
Sometimes I add a can of water chestnuts and or bean sprouts. Fresh bean sprouts are better but I hardly ever see them at our stores.
After I've fried each one I toss in cooked rice and a can of sliced olives. Dump in the veggies and add soy sauce to taste. I add ginger but not everyone likes ginger. I buy ginger fresh or in a tube.
If I'm making a meal of it I fry ground beef with some beef bouillon.
Shrimp or chicken if good in it.
My friend's daughter use to go to a salad bar to buy a little of all the veggies. She said it was cheaper than buying a whole bag or can of each thing.
