Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a salad with chicken, beans and Korean carrots? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Any part of the chicken will do: breast fillet, drumstick or thigh. I used boiled fillet, but smoked chicken would work too. Remove the Korean carrots from the marinade to drain excess liquid.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the beans, soak in cold water for several hours, or overnight.

Step 3

Step 3
Cook the beans over medium heat until soft. Salt the beans towards the end of cooking, as they will cook longer in salted water and will only be able to absorb the salt when they are almost soft.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash the chicken, boil in boiling salted water until cooked. Cooking time will depend on the size of the piece. This is approximately 20 minutes. To determine doneness, cut a piece of chicken. If the inside is soft and light, not reddish, then the chicken is ready. Remove the chicken from the broth and cool.

Step 5

Step 5
Cut the cooled fillet into small cubes or separate into fibers. If using thighs or drumsticks, remove the meat from the bones and chop.

Step 6

Step 6
Wash the cucumber and dry it. Cut off the ends of the vegetable. If the skin is thin and not bitter, you don’t have to peel it. If it is rough or bitter, then it is necessary to cut it off so as not to spoil the taste of the salad. Cut the cucumber into small cubes.

Step 7

Step 7
You can take any cheese: hard, semi-hard, soft or processed. The main thing is that it is tasty and without milk fat substitutes. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

Step 8

Step 8
In a salad bowl, combine chopped chicken and cucumber, Korean carrots and grated cheese. For a more piquant taste, you can add a previously peeled, washed and pressed clove of garlic to the salad. Add mayonnaise to the salad and mix well.

Step 9

Step 9
Salad with chicken, beans and Korean carrots can be refrigerated or served immediately. Bon appetit!
