I sometimes need to have chopped, or more specifically, shredded vegetables for coleslaw or other similar dishes.
Usually I use a knife, but it can be time consuming.
I have tried using using food processors like the Ninja, but it completely fails even when you put the machine on "chop" setting. The problem is that it cuts the cabbage into tiny little pieces. Also, the pieces are square, not long strips the way you need to shred for coleslaw.
Is there any automated way (available to an individual cook) to do this?
I know there are machines that do this because I see coleslaw mix in the supermarket, but those might be big machines that are not available for kitchens.

10 Kitchen Hacks To Slice And Cut Without A KnifeHow do you chop vegetables quickly?
You want the knife to be against your knuckle to hide your fingertips and guide it so there's no lateral movement. To do it quickly, keep the tip of the knife against the cutting board as a pivot/fulcrum. This minimizes loss of control.Basic Knife Skills
