I don't usually use meat in my fried rice. I start with a little peanut oil and quickly saute some onion, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes (I'm loving calabrian right now). Then I add day-old rice. Once that's heated, I make a well in the center and add eggs. Then add frozen peas and diced carrots. Once heated, I'll douse everything with low-sodium soy and oyster sauce, occasionally some fish sauce if I want to add a little umami boost. I finish with cashews for more crunch and green onion. Sometimes I'll use just a touch of toasted sesame oil.
If I do use meat, I'll velvet some chicken or use shrimp. I have used homemade bacon before, and that was pretty incredible.
