ingredients
directions
- In a small pot bring the water to a boil. Stir in the rice. Cover with a lid and set aside.
- Cut the pork into tiny diced pieces.
- In a large skillet, place the vegetable oil over medium-high heat and get it hot. Place onions into skillet and fry until almost transparent. Add the peas and carrots, stirring until thawed and heated thoroughly.
- The rice should now be ready. Pour rice into skillet. Add the diced pork, soy sauce and sesame oil.
- In a small bowl, with a fork, beat the eggs well. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the rice mixture, constantly stirring with a fork in a back and forth action, rather than a circular action. You do not want the eggs to solidify like scrambled eggs or fried eggs.
- You could omit the pork and have just Chinese Fried Rice.

Just my opinion, but not chilling the rice before cooking with the other ingredients is going to make it gummy. When the rice is very cold, the grains separate nicely, which is a good thing. Also, when making egg drop soup, you shouldn't briskly stir the egg. The best way is to get the soup swirling, then slowly pour in the egg so it can form into long slender threads. Otherwise it is just going to cook into little chunks. As for what makes Chinese fried rice authentic would be the general style, which doesn't necessitate an exact recipe, but just different enough to be distinct from other rice dishes in other cuisines, such as nasi goreng. Those are made differently---in style, not just from cook to cook.
