Is it common to throw the egg in at the end? I was always taught to fry and scramble the egg in the oil first.

I live in Japan and have only ever seen people putting the egg first, then rice, then seasonings and toppings

I'm a fan of mixing a couple of egg yolks with the cold unfried rice at the beginning, gives you a texture and flavour that's very unique compared to normal fried rice.

There seem to be a few schools of thought - one is to mix some egg through the cold rice before frying, one is to add egg mixture near the end, one is to fry the egg and like an omelette and chop it up and add.

> one is to fry the egg like an omelette and chop it up and add

That's the one I would consider normal.

I like my eggs less well done. Eggs cook fast, especially on high heat.
