I don't have a wok, I don't have access to a wok, can I still make fried rice? If so, how?? Thanks?!
Answers:
Any cookware that can contain enough quantity of rice can be used as a wok! You don't need a special instrument for a fried rice, duh!
Maybe a pan or pot will do!. Or even a rice cooker!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

You do not need a wok!. You can stir-fry in a frying pan!. The difference in the pan is only cultural!. Hot oil and fast cooking is the what you want to accomplish in wok cooking!.
As to how to make a fried rice, here is a very basic one Chinese style!.

I never have used my wok for fried rice
A pot for the rice
A pan to scramble the egg
then fix the veggies and saute them
add the cooked rice a dash of soy sauce
