Simple fried rice recipe

I sometimes wake up at 5.45am to prepare for 1 or 2 pax to bring to work. As my time limit is 15min (#flash cooking) I need to find something easy. As I am slow in prep work I will try my best to prepare seasoning, cut the fruits, onion, garlic, vegetables and meat (unless its frozen) ahead of time.
