hard boiled egg | 3 pcs. |
canned corn | 1 can |

Step cooking
- First of all, put the pan on the fire and boil 100 g of rice until cooked. It is very important that the rice is crumbly. To achieve this, add one tablespoon of vegetable oil to the boiling water during the cooking process. Fold the finished rice in a colander and let cool to room temperature.
- We take crab sticks in the amount of 300 g from the film. Each stick is first cut lengthwise into 2-3 strips, and then transversely into small squares. We send the chopped ingredient into a deep bowl for kneading the salad.
- Drain all the liquid from the corn, and then add it to the bowl to the crab sticks. I recommend pouring canned corn into a colander and wait a couple of minutes until the liquid drains. Thus, you will completely get rid of excess moisture, and the salad will not turn out watery.
- Peel three pre-hard-boiled chicken eggs, then rinse them with running water. We grind the eggs into small cubes, it is desirable that their size matches the size of the squares of the crab sticks, then the salad will turn out to be more attractive and mouth-watering.
- Similarly, we chop one fresh cucumber of a rather large size, after which we send it to the bowl for the rest of the products.
- Finely chop the parsley and dill, previously removing the thick stems. The amount of greens directly depends on your desire. If you are a fan of this component, then add a lot, and if not, add one sprig each to give the salad a pleasant smell and attractiveness.
- Quince the onions finely chopped with a sharp knife and pour over the greens. Instead of onions, you can use Yalta, which has a sweet aftertaste and will give the upcoming dish a special highlight in the taste.
- Last add the cooled cooked rice and 80-100 g of olive mayonnaise. You have the right to independently adjust the amount of mayonnaise, focusing solely on your own taste.
- Salt and pepper the ingredients, and then mix them well, trying to distribute all the products and mayonnaise as evenly as possible. We shift the finished dish into a salad bowl, after which we leave it alone for 10-15 minutes so that all the ingredients are thoroughly soaked with mayonnaise.
