I struggled with fried rice for many years before asking the owner of the local Chinese joint

2 tips

use day old rice
This allows the rice to separate very nicely & dry out a bit

Scramble the egg BEFORE adding to the mixture
This place actually makes it like an omelet without turning it over & then they chop it up very fine
If you add the eggs to the mixture without cooking them, they will end up binding everything together

So, following those guidelines, here is my favorite recipe

2 cups day-old rice
1/4 pound butter or margarine
2 eggs
1 small can water chestnuts
1 small can mushrooms
6 green onions
1/2 package frozen peas, thawed
2 Tbspdark soy sauce

Scramble the eggs & chop finely

Melt butter & let it start to brown
Add the rice, eggs, water chestnuts & mushrooms
Fry together, add soy sauce & let brown

Just prior to serving add green onions & peas
