Let’s start with what you’ll need. Grab a large skillet or wok – essential for that authentic stir-fry experience. You’ll also need a spatula and some basic measuring tools. The ingredients are simple but impactful. You'll need:

• 2 cups of day-old rice, which is crucial for the perfect texture
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup of cooked pork or chicken, diced
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon each of soy sauce and oyster sauce
• A teaspoon of sesame oil
• And a tablespoon of sugar

Optional but recommended are scallions for garnish and any additional vegetables like peas or carrots.

Now, let’s get cooking! Heat your oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, stir-frying until they’re translucent. Toss in your diced meat, cooking until it’s nicely heated through. Push this mixture to one side of the skillet. On the other side, scramble the eggs, then mix everything together.

Next, add your rice, breaking up clumps as you stir it in. This is your canvas, mixing with the rich flavors of the meat and eggs. After about 5 minutes, pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir-fry everything for another minute until the rice is beautifully coated with the sauces. Taste, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

For serving, dish out the fried rice hot, and sprinkle with chopped scallions for a fresh touch. This dish is not only a crowd-pleaser but also stores well. You can keep it in the fridge for up to three days or freeze it for three months, making it perfect for meal prep or last-minute dinners.

Remember, the key to perfect fried rice is using day-old rice and keeping your pan hot to avoid sticking. Stir constantly to achieve that iconic texture and flavor.
