Cause they reuse the oil. If they deep fry something with the oil, they'll save the oil. I think they also use a bit of chicken stock. The degree of heat from the stove is also a factor.Originally posted by: Josh

Switch the oyster sauce to soy sauce. You can basically use any ingredient you want.

Yep, chinese restaurants (any restaurant really) has extremely high BTU burners that impart a "smokiness" to the rice which you cannot get any other way.Originally posted by: richardycc
the secret is pork fat/lard and high heat pro gas range, thats the fried rice you make at home will never taste like it's from a restaurant.
Sure. My mom usually uses carrot cubes, but it's the same thing.Originally posted by: Rudee

Make the rice the day before, shove in fridge. Don't make it using freshly cooked rice as you want dry grains.
Make sure the heat is high enough, otherwise everything will mush up. I cook the meats/veggies ahead of time and then dump the rice in there. One pan/wok, all the way through. Also, get good dark sodium filled soy sauce.
