Fried rice! What are your favorite ingredients and techniques?

Love fried rice. Fallback is a plain version, just some scallions and egg. But so many other delicious versions - “burnt” garlic rice tastes wonderful, either on its own or with some chili oil at the end.

In restaurants here in nyc, I like “young chow” or variants on the theme - no soy sauce, a variety of additions, but fresh-tasting like homemade.

Does anyone else add a splash of vinegar at the end? For some reason I think it balances the flavor if I’m eating the fried rice plain.
