Chef Tony's Tips:- Cold rice is key for the perfect texture. If you only have fresh rice, spread it on a tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes before cooking.- Don't be afraid to use whatever leftovers you have in the fridge - fried rice is all about improvisation!- For a vegetarian version, skip the oyster sauce and use extra soy sauce or hoisin sauce instead.- If you like it spicy, add a dollop of your favorite chili sauce or some dried chili flakes.

Enjoy your lightning-fast fried rice, mates!
