I won't laugh at your fried rice - it's not funny enough. You have to put
something really off the wall like Oreos or cotton candy to make me laugh.

People say that you're supposed to use old rice to make fried rice but I've
made some with fresh cooked rice and it comes out fine. Your recipe sounds
good to me. If you add a little oyster sauce, you'd be making some pretty
authentic Chinese style fried rice. I don't make authentic Chinese fried
rice because I don't use long grain rice.
