   "There are many ways to do fried rice, depending on the kinds of
   ingredients employed.  The specific name is called when a specific
   kind of ingredient, mostly meat is added to the basic fried rice.
   Fried rice can be made ahead of time and kept warm in oven.  It
   freezes well in deep freeze too."  - Stephen Yan
