How to cook fried rice

1. Cut the chicken into thin slices and cook in the sesame seed oil.
2. While the chicken cooks, boil the rice in a saucepan.
3. Steam the carrots and peas, but don’t let them get soft enough that they fall apart.
4. Add the eggs to a saucepan with a splash of milk and scramble, then add the salt and black pepper.
5. Drain the rice and rinse it with boiling water, then add the soy sauce and mix.
6. Add the vegetables (including beans if you have them) and the chicken and rice together in the frying pan with the scrambled egg. 
7. Pour in some more oil (and more soy sauce/salt if you wish) then fry for a few minutes.
8. Finely chop up the sage and add it as a garnish, then serve. (Or add it at step 7 and fry it into the fried rice if you prefer)
