The history of the creation of crab sticks began in Japan. It was there that in 1939 they first decided to create a bank of crab aroma. However, the production of crab meat on an industrial scale is not profitable, since crabs contain very little meat. Therefore, later they decided to make sticks from fish meat.

The classic basis of crab sticks is minced fish - surimi. For getting
surimi use fillets of "white fish" of the cod family. distinctive
a feature of this particular fish is lean and low-boned meat, which is small
cut and washed thoroughly in cold water. Add to this mass
sorbitol, salt and polyphosphates in order to obtain a jelly-like consistency.
Then surimi is steamed, resulting in a dense white mass,
devoid of the specific smell and taste characteristic of raw fish.
Next, surimi is mixed with other ingredients (starch, sugar,
crab extract, spices, flavorings and dyes) and
form sticks.

The nutritional and energy value of surimi products depends on the type of fish being processed and the percentage of pure minced fish in the finished product. Surimi products are recommended for salads, various sea cocktails, sushi, as well as for preparing second courses and soups. The composition of the sticks, with all their diversity, is approximately the same: MINced FISH SURIMI, purified drinking water, starch, deodorized vegetable oil, egg and vegetable protein, salt, sugar, various food additives (natural or identical) under three-digit indices. All of them are also listed on the label: thickeners, flavors, colorants, flavor enhancers... Due to sugar, starch, and other substances, 12-15 grams of carbohydrates accumulate for every 100 grams of product. Although in natural crabs - 0 carbohydrates.

So in fact, the favorite component of many Russian salads is a simple imitation of noble meat.

• The sticks should be neat, smooth, even, not wrinkled, elastic. If they break and crumble, then this indicates that they have been repeatedly thawed and frozen.

• Ingredients: This is the main thing to pay attention to when choosing crab sticks. If surimi is in the first place in the list of components, then the product is of quite good quality.
• If surimi is in second place, then the number of fish in the sticks is minimal.
• Sometimes there is no fish at all in the composition of crab sticks, but there is starch, soy protein and various substitutes. In this case, you should refuse to buy such a semi-finished product.

5. Salad *Mice in a mink* with ham

The original design of the salad with crab sticks *Mice in a mink* always attracts attention. And this is well deserved, because it is not only beautiful, but also delicious.

Ingredients:

Ham (or smoked ham)250

Cheese (hard) 250g divided in half

Crab sticks 250

Eggs (chicken 5 and quail 4)

Mayonnaise 200

Garlic 3 cloves

Salt

Cooking:

Three half of the cheese on a grater. Ham, eggs and cut into small cubes. Crab sticks cut into squares. Mix everything, season with garlic and mayonnaise. Salt to taste. Put the mass on a plate in the form of a piece of cheese. It can be both round and a piece. Grease with mayonnaise on top. Sprinkle the "cheese" with the remaining grated cheese.

We make a hole in the cheese (with any object that is suitable in size and shape).
Large holes in the cheese can be made with a Kinder Surprise egg, small ones with a mayonnaise cap. There must certainly be mice near the cheese!

We make them from egg halves. For large mice we take chicken eggs, for small ones - quail. We cut the ears out of cheese (it is advisable to take cheese without holes so that the ears do not turn out full of holes). Spouts - pieces of red sweet pepper or tomato. Eyes - pieces of olives or pepper in a pot. Tails - onion rings.
These are such funny mice in cheese.

• Surimi is a very elastic mass that can be deformed. Try bending the crab stick. If it is only slightly cracked at the fold, then the product is of high quality. If it breaks, there is too much starch in the semi-finished product.
• It is also worth trying to unfold the crab stick. If you manage to pull off such a manipulation, it means that there is a lot of surimi in the product.
• If, when unwrapped, the stick turns into a sticky mass, this is also a sign that there is a lot of starch in the product. It is worth giving preference to those crab sticks, which contain a small amount of potato starch.

• Mayonnaise - for salad dressing
• Fine table salt

Cooking:

Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the salad. Due to the fact that they are all multi-colored, the salad is bright and appetizing.
First cut the cucumbers. I try to choose young, small in size. Before dicing, I recommend peeling the skin if the cucumbers are purchased. If you take cucumbers from your own garden, then you can not be afraid of nitrates, and therefore do not clean them!
Defrost crab sticks before taking them out of the package. On principle, I do not buy this product by weight, as I believe that vacuum packaging provides the necessary antibacterial protection during storage. Cut the sticks into small pieces.
Then finely chop the Chinese cabbage. There is no need to crush it additionally, otherwise it will lose juice and will not be pleasantly crunchy in a salad.
Next, combine all the ingredients in a salad bowl, adding canned corn. Season with mayonnaise and salt to taste. I prefer a light version of this salad, so I always use low fat homemade mayonnaise. You can replace mayonnaise with sour cream, it's also very tasty. Mix the contents of the salad bowl, salt and eat fresh.
