Preheat the wok, heat wok until really hot (almost smoky). This is the most important tip for the fired rice dish. Heating the wok can prevent the rice sticky to the wok surface and further spoil the texture. Add the rice egg mixture. Continue frying for 2-3 minutes until the rice grains pop up. Keep the fire to middle or high fire.
