The rice was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would have liked it better if I had added a little more broth.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less chili powder.

The zucchini was a bit undercooked for my liking. I think I would have liked it better if I had cooked it for a little longer.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover rice. I had some leftover brown rice from a previous meal and this was the perfect way to use it up.

The rice was a little mushy for my liking, but the flavors were good. I think I would try cooking the rice for a little less time next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices or herbs.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great. I also added some chopped carrots and peas for extra color and nutrition.
