Grating zucchini for chow mein

[supersonic_528]

I am starting to prepare "gourmet raw dishes". My first attempt was a blueberry pie. Today I made raw chow mein using zucchini. For this I had to grate the zucchini using cheese grater. I have a manual grater and it works fine, but when the zucchini becomes thinner, it's hard to grate it any more and it might even hurt my fingers. So I couldn't use about one-third of a zucchini and ended up using 3 zuchhinis instead of the 2 suggested in the recipe. Can you people suggest a better way for grating the zucchini? Are there better graters out there?

Also if someone can share their recipe of chow mein, that will be awesome :) Thanks.

Get a spiralizer.

I bet a grater in the food processor would work too - I grate carrots this way in my food processor.

When you get to the small pieces.......POP them into your Mouth. But if you choose not a Food Processor would do the trick and you can get a starter at Target.

I have an excellent mandoline with an angelhair blade, but I'm still going to spring for a slicer. The mandi is great, but a royal pain to clean up. Plus there's always the adventure of keeping your fingers away from the blades.

I have a juliene peeler and I love it. The noodles are a bit larger than the spiralizer noodles and I like them better....of course it's just personal preference. It looks just like a vegetable peeler but it has what it needs to make the juliene slices. I haven't even used my spiralizer since I got one of these.

I recently ordered a food processor (cuisinart) and it will arrive any day. If it has a grater (I hope it does), it will give it a try for making my chow meins ;)

BTW, I'll be interested to know what ingradients people use for making the sauce for chow mein. I used walnuts, dates, soy sauce, vinegar, water and some salt.
