https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/zucchini-fried-rice | By Adam Dolge

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds zucchini (about 4 zucchini)

3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided 8 ounces ground pork

1 cup matchstick carrots

½ cup fresh or frozen green peas (thawed if using frozen)

2 cups cooked long-grain white rice

¼ cup finely chopped fresh scallions, plus more for garnish

1 ½ tablespoons finely chopped garlic

2 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce

1 ½ teaspoons grated fresh ginger (grated on a Microplane)

½ cup lower-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1 Grate zucchini using the largest holes on a box grater. Place shredded zucchini in a clean towel, and twist to wring out as much water as possible (yielding about 4 cups).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over high. Add pork; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break into pieces, until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Add carrots and peas, and cook until slightly tender, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl; reserve.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in skillet over high. Add rice, and spread into a single layer; cook undisturbed until dry and slightly toasty, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir, and continue to cook 1 minute.

Step 4

Add zucchini, and stir to combine. Use a wooden spoon to move mixture to sides of skillet. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil in center of mixture. Add scallions, garlic, chile-garlic sauce, and ginger to hot oil; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and reserved pork mixture; toss to combine. Sprinkle with cilantro, and garnish with scallions.
