Zucchini noodles

This was my first attempt at creating noodles from zucchinis, and I must say that I was very pleased with the result.  Before my foray into raw veganism, I had never known the existence of a vegetable called zucchini.  The appearance of a zucchini is not unlike that of a large cucumber, and can be either yellow or green.  Its flesh is softer and more chewy than that of a cucumber, which makes it ideal for making vegetable noodles.  I used a hand mandoline to churn out strands reminiscent of vermicelli, and then lightly steam them so as to make them warm.  Serve with lightly sauteed vegetables for an Asian-flavoured dish.
