Reply to "What do you add to fried rice to make it more interesting?"

I don't bother. There is a place in Seattle not far from where I work that makes the best fried rice outside of Asia. And since I have never been to Asia, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt.
It isn't even on the menu; you have to be in the know, and ask for it specifically. Trust me, the stuff is like crack. Once you've had it, you're hooked!
