Step 1
The largest amount of work with fried rice is always the cutting. The more evenly your vegetables are cut the easier it is to get it all finished to perfection at once. So spend a bit of time on this step.

Step 5
Before adding the egg, turn up to high again for 2-3 minutes to make sure sure the rice and meat is hot. turn down the heat to medium low and then you add the egg and mix through until egg is fully cooked. Just before serving add a bit of the limejuice- you can decorate the plate with additional lime wedges, chopped coriander or flat-leaf parsley. be careful to really heat through and though not cook the egg at too high temperature. You want kill any bacteria and make sure the dish is properly mixed
Good to know
Any leftover vegetables will work on this. I sometimes use courgettes in small cubes- they will add moisture, so you can use much less soy and miso soup. Play with the combinations of chicken/beef /lamb or even shrimp as well. But keep it simple on the protein.
