Recipe: Re: ISO japanese fried rice [pilaf]

here are a few different recipies for fried rice, you can choose which one you like depending on your own tastes and preferences.
*********** Restaurant Style Fried Rice ************ 4 green onions 2
eggs 1 cup rice 3 tbsp soy sauce 1/2 cup green peas 1/2 cup almonds 1/2
cup shrimp 1/2 cup Char Siu -or- 1 cup Char Siu Use 1 cup of rice in
1-3/4 cups water. Boil the rice, uncovered, until bubbles stop forming
on surface, then cover the pot and simmer until the rice is well done
(about 20 minutes). Once the rice is done, go over it with a fork to
break up any lumps (which are common with short-grain rice). Stir-fry
the 1/2 cup of cooked small shrimp, 1/2 cup peas, and 1/2 cup slivered
almonds until heated. Remove from pan and set aside. Chop the 4 green
onions into small circles, and stir-fry them. Scramble two eggs and add
them after the green onions. Stir-fry this mixture until the eggs are
softly set (breaking up the egg into smaller chunks. Remove from pan and
set aside also. Heat Char Siu up, and set it aside. Add 4 tbsp oil to
the wok and then start adding rice and stir-frying, about 1/2 cup of
rice at a time (make sure the rice doesn't stick). Mix in the soy sauce,
then the shrimp, peas and almonds. Then mix in the Char Siu and
eggs/green onions mixture.

boil, add rice and a dash of salt, reduce heat and simmer in covered
saucepan for 20 minutes). Pour rice into a large bowl to let it cool in
the refrigerator.
2. Scramble the eggs in a small pan over medium heat. Separate the
scrambled chunks of egg into small pea-size bits while cooking.
3. When rice has cooled to near room temperature, add peas, grated
carrot, scrambled egg and diced onion to the bowl. Carefully toss all of
the ingredients together.
4. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over
medium/high heat.
5. When butter has completely melted, dump the bowl of rice and other
