Ask real Chinese people what fried rice is, and they'll say it is a way
to use up leftovers. Chinese people seldom eat fried rice, and
certainly wouldn't serve it to guests. Ask Chinese restaurant workers
in the US what fried rice is, and they'll say that it is something
served to round eyes.


Having said that, I like fried rice and often order it.
