Do this
Pour beaten egg into hot oil. Add the rice on top within 5 seconds. Toss and fold until every grain looks yellow.
Why it works
Raw egg spreads over the grains like paint. As it sets, it forms a thin, dry shell. Coated grains cannot glue themselves to each other.
When to skip it
Skip it if you want big, fluffy egg pieces. Then scramble the egg first and add it back at the end.
