if you have been following my posts, i have been on a fried rice mission. so thanks to all who helped on dry rice, high heat, rice oooker, etc. tonight, i think i hit it, diced up pork chop, chicken, carrots, onions, green peas, egg and very, very dry rice with soy sauce in a hot wok on the spider.. if i shut my eyes, i would think i was eating at the lucky wok resataurant. it really turned out good, so thanks again for everyone's help.

    Looks good. I tried to cook fried rice for the first time on the BGE last night. I had the same issues you did with it being sort of mushy. The rice was left over from the night before, so I was not wet. However, it was very clumpy. I think I need to use fresh rice that is kind of dry.

    I also think I was trying to cook too much. I had three chicken breasts, one half onion, chinese broccoli, baby bok choi, and carrots.

    It tasted very nice and the veggies were really fresh and crunchy like I like them. The only issue was the mushy rice.

    Good luck to both of us in the future!

    Dave,

    Day old rice is the best to use. If your rice is clumpy, spread it out on a paper towel and break it up so there are no clumps sticking together. Let it sit out so it can dry before throwing it into the wok.

    Looks like you got a decent sear on that pork. That makes all the difference, doesn't it?
    Next time try adding a little oyster sauce, in addition to the soy sauce.
