To my recollection, many Asian dramas (and anime), even if the restaurant is supposed to serve cuisine that doesn’t really have fried rice as traditional repotaire (eg: western), ended up using fried Rice as a way to demonstrate the new guy’s skill (at least, being acceptable to the restaurant). Why is that?

if it’s cooking in a wok, then it’s because fried rice shows off your mechanical skills the most. it’s harder to mix up a large batch vs just regular stir fry. also since it’s a dry dish, you have to know how much to season and can’t really taste it on the fly.
