This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili peppers or omitting them altogether.

I found this dish to be a bit too oily. I would recommend using less oil or draining the zucchini before adding it to the rice.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

I thought this dish was just okay. The zucchini was a bit bland and the rice was a bit dry. I would probably not make this again.
