This dish is very simple in terms of both ingredients and cooking. But the result of the work will certainly please you and your guests. “Bunito” - a salad with chicken and Korean carrots - in many families on the festive day replaced the famous “Olivier”. If you want to get a great treat, strictly follow the instructions that we will write below, so as not to spoil it with leaked mayonnaise or excess liquid in the carrot. And then it will be no worse than the one served in pizzerias, or even better.
Necessary products and method of preparation
In order to cook Korean “Bunito” (chicken salad), you will need the following products: chicken fillet - 250 grams, Korean carrots - 150 grams, the same amount - hard cheese, eggs - four pieces, 67% mayonnaise, greens. Boil the chicken fillet until cooked, it will take up to 10 minutes. Cook eggs at the same time.
Sometimes there is a lot of juice in a carrot, you need to get rid of it. Having boiled all the necessary products, we proceed to their cutting. We recommend that the chicken is allowed to cool completely, then cut it with your hands, without using a knife. So mayonnaise will absorb better. We clean the eggs, separate the protein from the yolk, separately three on a grater. We do the same with cheese. Finish cooking “Bunito”.
Lettuce is collected from layers in a deep bowl. Put chicken on the bottom, pour with mayonnaise, then carrots and mayonnaise again. Then - grated cheese, then - protein, followed by yolk. Decorate with greens on top.
Some tips for choosing ingredients and a little secret
Chicken breast is the main component of the salad, so its choice should be given special attention. When buying this product, carefully look at the condition of the edges of the breast, their dryness.
They must be moist, and all meat - one
beige color. When choosing mayonnaise, do not try to buy it with a fat content of less than 67%. If for any reason you get 45%, then do not be surprised that in just three or four hours the salad will simply flow. Pay attention to the
carrot in Korean. No juice should be. He is absolutely not needed in Bunito. Salad from excess fluid will not get better. Try to get brown eggs, as their boiled yolk is nicer and a bit larger.
And now a little secret. Do you know why our salad, sold in pizzerias, has such a magnificent view? Because he insists in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
