Tips for Egg Fried Rice with Caramelized Onions

Look for onions that are deep golden and soft, not dark brown; they can turn bitter if they scorch.
Day-old rice tends to stay separate, while freshly cooked, steamy rice can clump. Break up any clumps before adding it.
A wide skillet gives the rice room to spread and helps it fry rather than steam.
