Why have no one mentioned fried rice in this? Maybe it's just 'cause I'm Chinese and this was the first actual dish my mom taught me how to make.
Fried Rice
Onion Garlic Green onions or scallions (same thing, different names) 2 eggs Salt Pepper Some sort of chicken, pork, tofu, beef, bacon, vegetable, whatever you want - you can mix and match too! Rice, of course, preferably sticky rice/jasmine rice.
Not sure if you own a rice cooker, but you can cook the rice in a pot as well: http://chinesefood.about.com/cs/rice/ht/cookrice.htm
Cut the protein of your choice into bite size pieces and grill/cook until they're done. While they're cooking, chop up the onion, garlic, and green onions. How much you use is really up to your own preference, I usually use about half of a medium sized onion, 3 cloves of garlic, and 3 stalks of green onions.
Remove the meat/veggie aside when they're done cooking, leave the oil in the pan.
Set aside half the amount of green onions and the rest of the green onions, onions, and garlic to the pan.
Cook until the onion turned clear and add the eggs in (you can whisk the eggs beforehand or just whisk them in the pan with the spatula).
When the eggs are still slightly wet, add in the rice and toss them in the pan until the rice are evenly coated with the egg.
Turn the heat down and put the meat/veggie back in, along with the green onions you set aside. Keep tossing until everything's mixed well.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
I usually use oyster sauce instead of salt and pepper. Soy sauce works as well. Terriaky sauce probably works as well, I haven't tried yet. My mom used ketchup a couple of times, it's not my favourite but it's not bad.

Hopefully that made sense :)
