Browning rice first in a pan with a little oil will help keep rice as individual grains and not get mushy. Frying it first will help prevent rice from sticking together while simmering. While rice is browning, you will start noticing a nutty aroma, which will translate into the way rice will taste.How do you make rice less sticky?
Secret #1: The Rice Just freshly cooked rice is hot, steamy, very moist and a little sticky. All of those things would make a very clumpy and soggy fried rice.

Answer 2
You may not be able to salvage it, but if it were me, I'd add more liquid, stir it well, cover it with tin foil, and bake in the oven. The steam from the liquid should be trapped by the tin foil and soften the hard spots. The amount of liquid you need is a guess at this point.

Add more liquid. If you're worried about diluting the flavour; mix water with a bit of the spices used in your recipe along with chicken stock/broth (if it is you're preferred cooking liquid) and let it steam. Hope this helps :)
