Steps:

• Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat with olive oil. Beat the eggs in a small bowl, then swirl into the pan to form a thin, crepe-like layer. When almost cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes, flip to quickly cook the other side. Cut into thin strips and set aside.
• Add the cauliflower florets in batches to a food processor and pulse to the size of rice. Reserve.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large, high-sided pan over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the garlic and ginger and stir constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower rice and carrots and cook, stirring rapidly and continuously, for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened slightly. Add 2 tablespoons water to the bottom of the pan and keep stirring, scraping up anything that sticks. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the water has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce and stir in the peas and bean sprouts. Cook, stirring continuously to keep the mixture moving, until all of the liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the egg strips and the scallions; stir to heat the eggs and scallions through. Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil.
• Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the reserved scallions.

Allow to cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a bowl.
• Heat 2 teaspoons peanut oil in a well-seasoned wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat the pan. Pour in the eggs and swirl the pan so the egg forms a large thin pancake. (Lift the edge of the egg to allow any uncooked egg to run to the center.) As soon as the egg has set, turn it out of the pan onto a cutting board. Cool and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Meanwhile, wipe out the pan with a paper towel and heat the remaining tablespoon peanut oil over high heat. Add the mushrooms, scallions and carrots and cook, stirring, 1 1/2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, cauliflower and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the peas and reserved egg and cook, stirring, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with the reserved scallions and serve immediately.

Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Raise the heat to medium high and add the carrots and spinach; continue to cook, stirring, until the spinach has wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Continuing to stir constantly, add the cauliflower rice. Cook until the cauliflower is tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce and stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet, until the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a second skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs; as they cook, spoon hot butter over the whites of the eggs so that the whites set without flipping. Towards the end of cooking, carefully spoon hot butter over the yolks and cook until the eggs reach the desired doneness.
• Remove the pan with the cauliflower from the heat, drizzle with sriracha, and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and reserved green onions. Divide between 4 plates and top each serving with an egg.
