Cut the cauliflower into florets and place in a food processor. Pulse until the texture resembles rice. You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your food processor.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil and olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Add the frozen peas and sliced green onions to the pan, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Push the cauliflower mixture to one side of the pan. On the empty side, crack the eggs and scramble them with a spatula until fully cooked.
Combine the eggs with the cauliflower mixture and stir in the soy sauce, along with the salt and black pepper to taste.
Cook for another minute or two to blend the flavors.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving, and garnish with extra green onions if desired.
