To make the fried rice as good as the ones from your favorite Asian restaurants the trick is to cook the rice the night before. Line foil on top of a cookie sheet. Spread the cooked rice on the pan, breaking the chunks of cooked rice as much as you can. Then store the pan of rice inside the fridge to cool down overnight.
