Season the cauliflower rice with a small pinch of salt and stir-fry, coating it with the kimchi and gochujang mixture.

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for an additional 1 minute or until the rice is softer but not mushy.

Drizzle with toasted sesame oil and sprinkle with furikake or toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
