I've watched "fried rice" experts on videos, on YouTube, and in person.
In person is definitely the best, for obvious reasons. You can ask questions.
The guy I watched in Cincinnati said to me that the "secret"is to use an insanely hot gas cooker. Yep - he had one; about twice the size of a kitchen gas ring. He put the wok on it and splashed in some oil.
Then he broke a couple of eggs into the oil, and moved them around at high speed for about 30 seconds.
In went the (cold, cooked) rice; again, lots of movement with the spatula.
He flipped the rice in the wok several times, occasionally scraping the contents with the spatula.
In less than 5 minutes, he served it.Perfect.
Unless you've got a really fierce gas ring in your kitchen, it's pretty difficult to copy "fried rice".

I think it is definitely possible to make at home.
Day old cold rice and do not skimp on the oil !
Keep scraping over the bottom of the pan. This is where the shape of the wok comes in play.
And don't worry if the rice sticks inititially. It will come loose over time

I've probably never had fried rice cooked as KKA described so I'll never know!
