I was going to ask the same thing thus week!

The Chinese fried rice her in Australia seems to have a yellowish colour &
not much soy sauce.

From observation
- use a short grain rice
- use a rice cooker, it produces far better rice
- msg IS a must to get the Chinese Restaurant taste
- they seem to have green peas, chopped ham/chinese barbecue pork, egg, &
small prawns as well. I've seen small dried prawns at the asian grocer.
