on 1/4/2008 I'd recommend using the oyster sauce over the soy sauce. It just tastes better that way. Add some chinese sausages for a better flavor. Also, a great tip is to use day-old rice. It won't stick as much.

on 7/8/2007 If you strain the rice before cooking it it will not be sticky, so you can use it immediately. Also if you want instead of cooking in a skillet, or wok, try putting them on the grill, but on a metal dish(the ones with the holes in it). I have had great success using these tips.

on 4/19/2008 Above all else, you must make sure that you don't add the rice immediately after boiling. It must be left in a refrigerator for a while (preferably overnight). :)
