Transfer all the strips to a large pot and then add around 1 tablespoon of salt. Mix well and set aside for 15 minutes. There will be a layer of water at the bottom of the bowl. Discard the water at the bottom and then re-add clean water to wash the zucchini to avoid over salty flavor. Then squeeze the water out as possible.
