Tips for a delicious fried rice:

    * Rice should be crisp. To ensure this, 
      use left over rice to make a flavorful 
      fried rice.  The best way to do this, 
      is cook rice in the night and leave 
      it in the fridge. Take it out 30 mts 
      before you make the fried rice.
    * Make sure your rice does not have 
      any lumps. work out with your hands 
      to break the lumps. This helps ease 
      the process while mixing with vegetables.
    * Always cook on high heat. Preheat 
      the wok before adding in oil and 
      other ingredients.
    * For easy stir frying, make sure you 
      have all the ingredients arranged on 
      a plate in the order of frying. 
      This will save a lot of time.
    * Work out with your hands and fry 
      constantly .
