Break up the rice to remove all lumps and reserve.

Cook the fried rice in several batches, depending on the size of the pan or wok.  Do not cook more than 1-2 lbs. rice at once.  The high heat of the wok is the key to a quality fried rice.

Heat a small amount of oil in the wok.  Add the meat and stir-fry for a minute.

 Add the scallions and stir-fry for a minute.

Add any raw vegetables and stir-fry until almost done.

Add the rice and stir-fry until it is hot and lightly coated with oil.

 If using cooked vegetables, add at this time.

Add soy sauce.

Add beaten egg and mix in.  Stir-fry lightly to cook egg, then serve.

Adjust seasoning.
