Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a salad with Chinese cabbage, crab sticks and corn? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the salad. It is better to take Chinese cabbage small — you can find heads weighing about 150-200 g. The leaves of this cabbage are tender and juicy, light green. In this case, there will be no need to think about where to put the leftovers from the head of cabbage.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the crab sticks into small cubes. You shouldnʼt cut it too coarsely, as we need a light consistency. Ideally, each piece of crab sticks should not exceed the size of corn kernels.

Step 3

Step 3
Wash and dry the Chinese cabbage. Cut out the stalk and the hard white parts of the leaves adjacent to it. Cut the remaining green leaves into small strips.

Step 4

Step 4
Boil the eggs hard, cool, peel and finely chop with a knife. You should not grate eggs, otherwise the taste of the egg will be practically undetectable and the salad will turn out to be similar in consistency to viscous porridge.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the canned corn in a sieve and dry. It is convenient to take canned corn for this salad in small jars. The grains must be dense and whole. If the corn grains are loose and the top skin is separated from them, then this corn is not of very high quality and should not be used. You need to make sure that all the liquid drains from the corn.

Step 6

Step 6
In a salad bowl, combine crab sticks, Chinese cabbage, canned corn and eggs. If desired, you can add chopped dill or parsley.

Step 7

Step 7
Season the salad with mayonnaise. If desired, the salad can be salted and peppered to taste. I usually donʼt add additional spices to salads with mayonnaise. Mayonnaise does this job perfectly on its own. In addition, you can over-salt the salad if the mayonnaise and crab sticks are salty enough on their own.

Step 8

Step 8
Mix everything thoroughly. You can serve the salad right away. Or put it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. Bon appetit!
