Season the wok or frying pan:

Heat the pan until it smokes slightly, then use low heat and pour in 30ml of oil. Rotate the pan so that the oil is evenly placed on the surface of the pan. Then pour out the oil that has become hot in the pan. Pour the hot oil into a dry, heat-resistant container.
2 tablespoons peanut oil, soybean oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, or lard

Cooking:

Add 20 mil (4 tsp) of cold oil to the pan, on medium heat.
4 teaspoons peanut oil, soybean oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, or lard, 1 egg
Crack an egg into the pan and quickly scramble it with your spatula, until the egg changes color.
Add the ham sausage and red onion, stir-fry until fragrant. Pour in the rice, stir-fry well and season with salt and white pepper.

Continue stir-frying until the rice granules are separated, then add the green onions.

Notes

We use cold rice, leftover rice after family lunch is the best choice, if it is summer, then you can put the rice in the refrigerator and refrigerate. This makes it easier for the rice particles to separate.
The purpose of heating the pan and swirling oil is to keep the ingredients from sticking to the pan.
In the process of frying rice, if the ingredients begin to stick to the pan, you can add some oil in moderation.
