Shaved Vegetable Rings

Rolling them up seems to be a trendy way to present shaved vegetables.

Can anyone please share a proper technique of making these? (i.e. how do you prevent them from unraveling?)

Thank you.

I blanch them quickly so they are super pliable. Also putting the seams towards each other helps a lot.

aaaaah trypophobia!

Is there any way to avoid cooking the vegetables at all and still be able to roll them up nicely?

I've found it to be on this side of impossible for most vegetables. They're simply too sturdy when raw.

I thought the vegetables could be quickly pickled or placed in a brine like solution to increase flexibility?

you can try putting veggies in ice water after you slice on a mandoline

they will curl but may not necessarily into circles
