Ingredients
Components | Proportions |
Chinese cabbage | 7-8 leaves |
large cucumber | 1 PC. |
canned corn | 1 can |
crab sticks | 300 g |
lean mayonnaise | 80-100 g |
Step cooking
- We sort Beijing cabbage into leaves and select from them 7-8 the best and fleshy. Each sheet is cut into 4-5 thin strips, and then finely chop them.
- Shredded Beijing leaves are sent to a roomy bowl, and then slightly wrinkled with clean hands, so that the cabbage lets the juice out.
- We cut fresh large cucumber lengthwise into 4-6 equal parts, depending on the thickness of the vegetable. Then cut the cucumber into thin strips.
- 300 g of crab sticks are cleaned of the film, and then cut each stick lengthwise into two equal parts. Then diagonally shred crab sticks onto thin plates.
- All chopped ingredients are sent to a bowl of cabbage leaves.
- From the corn, drain the excess liquid, and then pour it to the rest of the components. I recommend throwing corn into a colander or small sieve to get rid of the juice as much as possible.
- There we add 80-100 g of lean mayonnaise, and then salt and pepper the salad in accordance with personal taste.
- Stir everything thoroughly, after which we give the ingredients the opportunity to soak in mayonnaise for 10-15 minutes. Put the finished salad in a salad bowl and serve. If desired, the product can be decorated with leaves of fresh parsley or cilantro.
