For best results, use day-old cooked rice. This will prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy. Adjust the amount of curry powder to your preference. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Feel free to add other vegetables such as diced carrots, bell peppers, or bean sprouts. If you don't have Chinese rice wine, you can substitute with dry sherry. Make sure your wok is very hot before adding the pork to achieve a good sear.
