Is fried rice the epitome of easy to learn, hard to master?

So I cooked like 3 cups of rice last night and have a shit ton left over. Thinking about making some fried rice so it doesn't go to waste. Give me suggestions on what to put in it. So far, I'm thinking the following:

-diced chicken
-scallions
-peas and carrots
-eggs
-little bit of chicken broth/soy sauce
-sesame oil

Any other suggestions for ingredients?

What do you put in your fried rice?

How do I not Fuck fried rice? I made some the other day and it was almost risotto. I think it all started wrong from the white rice. It was kind of mushy. What rice should I use? I used Jasmin rice, I washed it before hand several times and followed instructions. Please help.

When I make fried rice i use vegetable oil but does anyone use butter? I would think it's a bit unconventional.

I'm about to make some fried rice so tell me if this sounds right:

-Heat cast iron up with some veg oil
-put in cold rice and chopped veggies
-stir and add soy sauce after a big
-plenty of butter
-add eggs and cook then stir more
-salt and pepper

Anything else I should do

My recipe:

3-4 dl white jasmine rice
150 g meat (bacon, pork, beef, chicken, shrimp)
150 g vegetables (cubed carrots, peas)
3 eggs
Soy sauce to taste
Fish sauce to taste (optional)
Sesame oil (crucial!)
3 cloves of garlic
1 tsp white pepper

Boil the rice. I use 1.5 times as much water as rice with great success. After boiling for 17-18 minutes your rice is ready. Spread it out on a baking sheet or something similar to let it cool down.

Fry the meat, add garlic. When meat is done, add vegetables. Now is a great time to add soy sauce and some fish sauce. Move all contents of the pan over to one side, leaving room for your eggs to scramble. When scrambled, mix everything well together. Now add the rice over high heat, mabye some more oil. Fry it untill it starts to change colour just a little bit.

You may need to add more soy and fish sauce now. Add pepper. Add sesame oil, but not too much. Mix well together.

I have had a love affair with fried rice for several months now. This Thai restaurant near me makes the most flavorful and delicious fried rice I've ever had. Recently, I started cooking it with oyster sauce, garlic, onions, and chile powder/paste. It is pretty good but I feel like there's more I can be doing. Anyone have any good tips?
