Method

1

Cut cauliflower into florets. In a food processor, pulse florets until rice-sized pieces form. (Skip this step if using pre-riced cauliflower.) Place cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture.

2

In a small bowl, stir soy sauce, mirin, and sugar; set aside.

3

In a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat oil until just shimmering. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer shallots to a paper-towel lined plate. Discard all but 1 Tbsp. oil from skillet.

4

In same skillet over medium-high heat, cook eggs, stirring occasionally, until scrambled, about 30 seconds. Transfer eggs to a small bowl.

5

In same skillet over medium-high heat, cook carrots, garlic, and peas, stirring frequently, until warmed through, about 30 seconds. Add cauliflower and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly softened, about 2 minutes.

6

Increase heat to high. Add reserved soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in eggs; season with salt and pepper.

7

Divide fried rice among small bowls. Top with shallots, scallions, and sesame seeds (if using).
