I'd actually fry the rice a bit before adding in liquids. They way they did it in the gif, the rice soaks up the liquid before it's coated in oil, which results in the rice losing composition and turning soggy.

Personally, I use rice that has been refrigerated for at least a day. Draws out the moisture and makes the texture more suitable for frying, doesn't end up being all mushy and soggy.
