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!.

Classic Yangchow Fried Rice

Prepare 4 cups cooked rice many hours ahead and chill in refrigerator!. This is a secret to good fried rice!. Chilling the rice!. Rice should be dry, not mushy!. To chill the rice in a pinch, lay it out on a cookie sheet and stick in the freezer until well chilled, but not beginning to freeze!.

2 cups water
? lb shrimp fresh or frozen in shells

In a saucepan, bring lightly salted water to boiling!. Add shrimp and cook 1-3 minutes until shrimp turn pink!. Drain, shell and devein if necessary!. Chop shrimp and set aside!.

2 oz (1/2 cup) fully cooked ham or pork
2 oz (1/2 cup) cooked chicken
? cup frozen peas
1/3 cup fresh mushrooms
2 green onions

Finely dice meats; set aside
Thaw frozen peas; set aside
Finely chop mushrooms; set aside
Thinly slice green onions; set aside

2 beaten eggs
1 tbs cooking oil

Note: No hot oil here: In a 10 inch skillet heat the oil slightly and add beaten eggs!. Do not stir!. Cook gently until egg has set!. Invert the pan over a cutting board to remove the egg!. Cut into narrow strips; set aside

3 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs cooking oil

In the same skillet and add soy sauce and cooking oil heat oil until hot, then add meats and vegetables and cook for about 3-4 minutes or till mushrooms and onion are tender!. This is where you stir and fry in hot oil like in the wok!.

4 cups chilled cooked rice
? cup fresh bean sprouts
Soy sauce (optional)

Stir in cooked rice, the bean sprouts and egg strips; heat through!.

Serve with additional soy sauce if you like!.
