Ingredients

½cuplow-sodium teriyaki sauce
1tablespoonrice vinegar
¼teaspoonsalt
¼teaspooncrushed red pepper
1tablespoonextra-virgin olive oil
2cupshotcooked brown rice
Sliced scallionsfor garnish (optional)
Toasted sesame seedsfor garnish (optional)
Directions
Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, make long, ⅛-inch-thick strips from 4 zucchini, about 100 ribbons total.
Working with 1 ribbon at a time, gently fold it into a W shape and thread onto an 8-inch metal skewer, piercing through the center of each fold. Repeat with the remaining zucchini ribbons to create 8 skewers with 12 to 14 ribbons on each.
Whisk ½ cup teriyaki sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar and ¼ teaspoon each salt and crushed red pepper together in a small bowl.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Working in 2 batches, add 4 of the skewers, folded-side down; cook, flipping once, until just lightly browned on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 4 skewers.
With the remaining 4 skewers still in the skillet, reduce heat to medium. Pour the teriyaki mixture over the skewers; cook, turning frequently, until well coated, about 1 minute. Remove the skewers to a plate. Add the remaining 4 browned skewers to the pan; cook over medium heat, turning frequently, until the sauce is slightly thickened and the skewers are coated, about 1 minute.
Serve the skewers over rice; drizzle with any remaining sauces. Garnish with scallions and/or sesame seeds, if desired.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
