Tips:

Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower will give you the best texture and flavor in your fried rice. If you only have frozen cauliflower, be sure to thaw it completely and drain it well before using.
Cook the cauliflower rice properly: Do not overcook the cauliflower rice. Cook it to al dente, so that it still has a slight crunch. Overcooked cauliflower rice will be mushy and not as flavorful.
Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more nutritious and flavorful your fried rice will be. Some good vegetables to add include carrots, peas, broccoli, and bell peppers.
Season the fried rice well: Use a variety of seasonings to flavor your fried rice. Some good options include soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, and black pepper.
Add some kimchi: Kimchi is a fermented cabbage dish that adds a delicious sour and spicy flavor to fried rice. If you don't have any kimchi on hand, you can use sauerkraut or another fermented vegetable.
Serve the fried rice immediately: Fried rice is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is still hot and crispy.
