 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaFried rice is a popular component of Chinese cuisine and other forms of Asian cuisine. It is made from cold leftover rice fried with other leftover ingredients.[1] It is sometimes served as the penultimate dish in Chinese banquets (just before dessert). Fried rice is a common staple in American Chinese cuisine, especially in the westernized form sold at fast-food stands. The most common form is a basic fried rice, often with some mixture of eggs, scallions, and vegetables, with chopped meat (usually pork or chicken, sometimes beef or shrimp) added at the customer's discretion. Fried rice is also seen in other Asian American restaurants, even in cuisines where there is no native tradition of the dish such as the Caribbean. The dish is also a staple of Chinese restaurants in the United Kingdom (both "sit-in" and "takeaway"), and fried rice is very popular in the West African nations of Ghana and Togo, both as a restaurant food and as street food.

I think local style fried rice is usually made with short grain rice (Hinode). Most of the time get bacon, Portuguese sausage, char siu and/or spam. Get green onion and regular onion inside and sometimes get other veggies like peas and carrots. The rice is usually evenly coated with shoyu so it looks anywhere from light to dark brown in color. The rice is also coat with certain amount of oil ranging from the dry side to moist. Get plenty more variations on ingrediments than this, but I think this is the foundation and then people put their own style from there. Some things that I like with local style fried rice are Tabasco sauce, over easy egg, kim chee, ketchup, mac salad, Worcestershire sauce. That's all I can think of right now.
