I make my fried rice with luncheon meat and eggs basically, but I think you need a veg version. You need refrigerated cooked rice for fried rice, not freshly cooked rice. Add water if the rice is too hard and dry. A non-stick pan can reduce the oil needed. You may add packaged mixed vegetables (chopped carrots, peas and corn). However, this is just home recipe, nothing like those you've tried in hotels.

As for spring rolls, you may try canned fruit cocktails with mayonnaise, like most restaurants do. They like coating them with egg and bread crumbs and fry.

For spring roll, you can have turnip, carrot and bean sprouts.

Alternatively, my mum just uses granny smith apple or pork floss (hehe... pork floss is not vegetarian).

I also like adding shredded dried mushrooms to my fried rice and springrolls. Buying dried mushrooms is tricky, buy those that smell good. Packaged ones are better than non-packaged ones since they smell bad because of the rain and mould. Soak the mushrooms until they're soft, then shred them and fry them first with oil. Fry the other ingredients first, then the rice. Then fry them together.


Traditional spring rolls use green bean sprouts, shredded carrots and dried mushrooms and shredded pork, and another Chinese vegetable which looks like spring onion but is yellow and light green called 韮王 gau wong. You have to boil or fry the pork and veg before wrapping them.

I've made spring rolls with chicken shreds and mango before, they taste good but the spring rolls will turn soft soon because of the water inside.

You can also add peeled shrimps or dried shrimps to your fried rice, and peeled shrimps to your springrolls, together with mixed fruit cocktail and mayonnaise, which you may find in every restaurant.

Martin Yan comes to mind. Watch his programmes.

I'm not an expert in the cooking of Chinese food, but, from my experience, I suggest not to stick to the taste you find in hotel and restaurant, cause most of the times comes from MSG (monosodium glutammate) or 味精 (I hope there is no difference between simplified and traditional characters in this case).
