But one thing I know for sure: crab salad with rice is certainly on the list of your favorite dishes. Each housewife cooks it in a special way, adding its own ingredients. Many residents of our country are very fond of crab salad. Rice, corn go well with the unusual taste of crab sticks, what could be tastier?
Many families always have this salad on the festive table. Rice, crab sticks, eggs are commonly available products that can be purchased at any store. Due to its satiety, the dish will quickly satisfy the hunger of guests suddenly arriving, and you will not need to cook anything else. So, now we proceed directly to its preparation. The following ingredients are included in the crab salad with rice:
- rice - 100 g;
- egg - 4 pcs.;
- corn - 1 can;
- crab sticks - 200 g;
- mayonnaise.
Now let's look at how to cook this dish. First you need to cook rice and eggs. Just make sure that the rice is crumbly. Crab sticks need to be cut into small pieces. Next, cool the eggs, and then cut them in the same way as crab sticks. Liquid must be drained from corn. Rice should also be cold. And only then you can mix all the ingredients and add mayonnaise. Mix gently so that the crab sticks do not crumble!
Crab salad with rice can be supplemented with fresh or pickled cucumber, it will add originality to the dish. Also, some housewives add sweet peppers or olives, this is already a more exotic option (for an amateur). In the summer, you can add greens or spring onions, which diversifies the taste of your salad. Some experiment with dressing and use sour cream instead of mayonnaise. Here I advise you to start to try a small amount of salad, which is seasoned with sour cream, and only then, if you like it, mix it all. Another tip: if you have prepared a large amount of salad and are not going to use it all at once, do not refuel it, but put it in a sealed container in the refrigerator and add dressing before serving.
Crab salad with rice is not the only dish that can be prepared from crab sticks. Let's look at another unusual recipe. In it we mix crab sticks and cheese. So, we need the following ingredients:
