Chinese Fried Rice

4 cups cold leftover white rice
4 eggs
chopped yellow onion
sliced scallion (whites & greens separated)
ham
peas
diced celery
diced carrots
salt & pepper
sesame oil
vegetable oil
oyster sauce (about 2 TBS)
rice wine (about 2 TBS)

saute yellow onions and white parts of the green onion (season with a tad bit of salt and pepper), add in celery then carrots then peas then ham. Remove vegetables to bowl. Add a bit more oil then scramble eggs (season with salt & pepper) until just moist. While scrambling, keep eggs in fairly large sized chunks. Remove eggs and add to vegetables. Add vegetable and sesame oil to pan then cold rice. Stir to coat all the rice grains with the oil then let sit to fry the rice. Meanwhile, add some oyster sauce and rice wine together. When rice is crispish add the oyster sauce/rice wine mixture. Continue cooking until rice absorbs almost all the liquid and dries out a bit. Add in the green parts of the green onion, stir then add in the vegetables, stir and cook till hot.
