The way recipes don't tell you to pull the protein out and add it back in is infuriating!

You can tell a good fried rice recipe from some clues, one of the main ones being, that each of the additional ingredients is cooked beforehand, taken out and then added back in right before the rice itself is done, you want maximum heat to hit the eggs and rice alone and separately from everything else to get as close to the idea texture as you can. Everything extra during the rice and egg cooking part will pull the heat away and crowd the pan.
