Salads with crab sticks Every year they do nothing but break all records for their popularity. We often go to visit, and there is always one or another version of a dish with this seafood on the table. Moreover, he is not only present there, but always eats with great pleasure. And as a rule, it never remains on the table.

And this is probably not accidental. Just 10 years ago it was difficult to find such a product in a store in such an assortment. Now, you come to the store and don’t know what to choose. The product is sold in different appearances, from different manufacturers, at different prices. And of course, it can vary greatly in quality.

Crab sticks should contain up to 50% chopped fish. As a rule, this is pollock, saury, all types of cod fish, and other white fish. But sometimes they come across juicy and tasty, and other times they are a bit dry. It depends on how much fish fillet they contain, or surimi as it is also called. They turn out dry when other components are added to them instead of fish, for example soy protein, egg powder and starch.

Therefore, it is worth paying attention to what product you are buying. After all, this will directly determine what kind of salad you get in the end. Try to buy products only from trusted manufacturers. Such as “Santa Bremor”, “Meridian”, “Vici”, “Water World”. Always read the packaging information before purchasing and remember that a good product won't be cheap.

But if you purchased the product good quality, then you can always cook a delicious dish with it. And you know, there are quite a lot of recipes. Today we will look at some of them. After all, soon the most important holiday - New Year! And not only on this holiday you can prepare delicious salads. We still have a birthday, March 8, February 23..., there are more than enough reasons. So let's get started.

Salad with crab sticks and corn according to a classic recipe

I’ll immediately answer the question why this particular recipe is a classic. This is a conditional name. This is how they cooked it when this seafood first appeared on sale. And there was only one recipe. Everything was prepared according to it. Apparently this is where it got its name.

We will need:

• corn – 300 g (1 can)
• boiled rice - 1 cup (dry rice 1/4 cup)
• egg – 4 pcs
• fresh cucumber – 1 pc.
• green onion – 0.5 bunch
• parsley - a small bunch
• mayonnaise - to taste

Preparation:

1. Boil rice in advance. As you can see from the ingredients list, we need about 1/4 cup of dry rice. It is better to boil steamed rice; it does not stick together during cooking and remains that way after cooking. In addition, it expands perfectly in size. That is, almost four times. And this is already a full-fledged element of the salad, visible to the eye, which is important.

It will only need to be cooled and then used in cooking.

2. Eggs should be hard-boiled and cooled with cold water. Then cut them into small cubes.

3. Seafood is best purchased chilled. I personally don't like the frozen product. Usually one package weighs 200 - 250 grams. Use whatever you have.

They need to be cut. There are several cutting methods various options. And they mainly depend on what look you want to get.

• you can cut them into cubes. In this case, it is better to cut all other components as well. The design will be more impressive.
• can be cut into thin strips. In this case, we cut the cucumbers the same way. And the egg, corn and green onions will have the shape of a cube. The “geometry” of the appearance will be different.

I take the sticks apart into fibers. In this form, they turn out to be very thin, and are perfectly saturated with the juices of all other components. And I prefer the taste of this content, in principle, as well as its appearance.

And in order to disassemble seafood into fibers, it must first be cut into two or three pieces, and then into two more halves. And then divide it into fibers, helping yourself with a knife. This way the disassembled straw will be short and the same size.

Place the straws in a bowl.

4. Add the egg, cooled rice, and corn, from which all the liquid has previously been drained. And also chopped green onions and dill. And some people like dill more. It will not be considered a mistake to use it either.

You can use regular onions instead of green onions. onion. In this case, you will need to cut it into very small cubes and pour boiling water over it so that all the bitterness comes out.

All ingredients are tender, the corn and sticks have a slightly sweet taste. And we don’t need to add bitterness. All tenderness will be lost, and the bitter taste may overpower all the others.

5. And we have one more component left, which we will also add today. This is a fresh cucumber.

Why is there such special attention to him? Yes, because in the first classic version of the dish, cucumber was not added. And it started to be added a little later.

Therefore, we will highlight its addition as a special point. Those who want - add, those who do not want - then it is quite possible to do without it. But the cucumber adds fresh flavor notes, and its alluring aroma stimulates the appetite. And I always add it; with its presence, the salad seems more tasty to me.

6. All that remains is to fill it with mayonnaise. Add it a little to just slightly bind all the components together. But who loves it more?

I don’t salt it, because crab sticks and mayonnaise are already salty enough as it is. And salt, as a rule, is enough for the entire composition. But taste it before serving. And if you feel that there is not enough salt, then add a little salt.

7. The contents can be placed in a deep dish, or you can place them in heaps on a flat plate. Who likes it best, and what kind of dishes are suitable for this.

That's it, the dish can be served to the table and enjoy its delicate and delicate taste and aroma.

How to make classic crab salad

If you don't know how to make classic crab salad, start by choosing the ingredients. Real crab meat is considered a delicacy. It is not always available in stores, and the price is extremely high. The original crab meat has delicate taste, useful vitamin composition, is well absorbed by the body. It is used in cooking, more often in restaurants - boiled, mixed with vegetables and complex refueling. Sometimes you can find canned crab meat that differs from fresher more spicy taste.

In regular stores, in mass production, crab meat was replaced with an analogue - classic chopsticks from minced surimi based white meat cod and other fish. Such a cheap product replaces the delicacy on the table in ordinary families, gives salads tenderness, lightness, and, in combination with spicy ingredients, piquancy and richness. There are many recipes for cooking hearty snacks based on crab sticks - you can use them to make a beautiful holiday dish that looks great in the photo, or prepare a delicious simple snack for every day.

Salads with crab sticks are good as a snack at work, you can take them with you on a picnic. The dish is easy to prepare - you just need to chop all the ingredients, mix and season with sauce.

Canned meat requires different processing - after opening the can, you need to drain the brine, cut the pulp into strips or pieces. Chilled or frozen sticks just need to be cut into pieces or crushed in a blender. To add originality, you can lightly fry the sticks in butter or vegetable oil so that you get a golden brown crust. This way you can prepare delicious warm and hot salads in asian style.

The dressing can be classic mayonnaise, full-fat sour cream or more complex sauces based on olive oil, lemon juice and mustard with spices. The original sauce will be lime juice with red ground pepper, Dijon mustard or white wine vinegar. Good combination taste is obtained by mixing crab sticks with shrimp, squid, and salted fish. This option is delicious served with tartar sauce with pickles or 1000 Islands.

Classic crab salad recipe - cooking secrets and ingredients

The classic crab salad recipe is very simple, the only thing you need to boil is the eggs (and rice, if you prefer to cook with this particular ingredient in the salad).

Crab sticks

For the salad, you can use crab meat or crab sticks. You can buy them in any store in different packaging or even by weight.

I buy sticks in packs (I take several of 200 grams, 300, and even 500). It depends on how many guests there will be and what kind of salad I want to prepare.

Corn

I always use good quality canned corn. It’s better not to skimp here and buy delicious, sweet corn.

Some people use boiled frozen corn that they have stored for the winter, but I prefer canned corn.

Eggs

Ideally, it is better to use homemade eggs, but store-bought eggs are also fine.

Fresh cucumbers

The crab stick salad turns out delicious and fresh with cucumber. But it is not always possible to find fresh cucumbers on sale in winter, so the salad was supplemented with rice and the cucumber was removed. In my opinion, it tastes better with cucumber.

Rice

I usually boil rice round (or long). The most important thing is not to turn the rice into porridge, so I buy expensive rice (I like jasmine or basmati)

By the way, you can add rice and fresh cucumbers to the salad.

Greenery

Greens give a bright look to the salad and spicy taste(I used dill and parsley).

Mayonnaise

Say that use only homemade mayonnaise, I won’t, because I don’t always have the time and opportunity to prepare it.

Therefore, you can dress the salad with homemade or store-bought mayonnaise (you can choose the fat content yourself). Also, many housewives mix sour cream with mayonnaise or yogurt.

Mayonnaise in a salad acts as a connecting link, so you shouldn’t add a lot so as not to weigh down an already hearty dish.

Salad decoration

You can decorate green onions, dill, parsley, crab sticks, cranberries or lingonberries, orange slices, grated yolk or egg white.

How to pickle onions for salad?

Some versions of the dish involve the use of pickled onions; only the classic crab salad is prepared with green onions or without onions at all.

Onions for salad should be chopped small cube. It is better to use white or Yalta onions, but not so sharp.

And if the onion is ordinary, then most often there is a sharpness in it, then you need to fill it with a glass of warm water, adding a couple of tablespoons of vinegar 9% and a spoonful of sugar, a pinch of salt. Leave for 20 minutes, then strain off the marinade.

Crab salad - classic recipe with corn

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, season with mayonnaise, adding salt and ground black pepper to taste. Place in a salad bowl and decorate as desired.

The salad can be prepared in portions. Many guests like this solution.

When to dress a salad with mayonnaise?

A few words about mayonnaise. If you prepare the salad in advance, do not immediately season it with mayonnaise. Season before serving.

Especially if there is liquid in the salad, the salad will drain.

To salt or not to salt salads dressed with mayonnaise?

Many housewives salt and pepper salads, and also add other spices to taste and desire. But it’s best not to add salt to salads dressed with mayonnaise.

It’s even better to try, if, indeed, there is not enough salt, then you can add salt. But, again, be guided by your taste preferences.

In the previous article we already got acquainted with different ways preparations And we learned that such meat goes well with many foods. This and various vegetables, and fruits, and cereals, and greens. They can be prepared with the addition of other seafood, or even with canned fish.

Today's series of salads falls into the classic category. I’ll tell you right away why they are classified this way.

In fact, everything is very simple. Since even in recent times these products were in terrible short supply, there were practically no recipes for them. In fact, there was only one recipe in two versions.

The first included ingredients such as crab sticks, eggs, corn, rice, green onions, herbs and mayonnaise.

And in the second it was also added fresh cucumber. That is, in the summer, when vegetables were available, it was added, and in the winter, when there was such abundance fresh vegetables It was not observed in stores, and accordingly it was not used.

Currently geography classic salads expanded somewhat. And I propose in today’s article to get to know her better.

Classic salad recipe with cucumber, rice and corn

IN this recipe we will use crab sticks as the main component. But if you are lucky enough to purchase the appropriate meat, then you can and should cook from it.

We will need:

• crab sticks – 200 – 250 g
• eggs – 4 pcs.
• boiled rice – 1 cup
• cucumber – 1 piece (medium)
• canned corn – 1 can 300 – 350 g
• green onion – 0.5 bunch
• greens, parsley or dill - 0.5 bunch
• mayonnaise - to taste

I don’t use salt in this recipe, since I boil the rice in salted water, and the sticks and mayonnaise already contain salt.

But as they say, “To taste and color...” Therefore, keep the salt in mind, and if necessary, the contents can always be salted.

Preparation:

Salad ingredients can be cut in various ways - into large and small cubes, or into thin strips. Or some components can be cut in one way, and some in another.

I’ll show you how I did it today, and you decide for yourself how you want the dish to look.

1. First of all, you need to boil the rice in lightly salted water. I would advise you to use parboiled rice. Firstly, it does not stick together, and secondly, it increases in size much more than usual.

Significantly, it is four times. That is, if you take 1/4 of a glass of steamed product, you get a glass of boiled product.

By the way, we use this effect when we cook.

2. Boil the eggs until hard, then peel and cut into small cubes.

3. Cut the cucumbers into thin, not very long strips. It is best that the skin of the cucumber is not rough. Taste before cutting. If it is difficult to chew, then it is better to clean it.

Although, of course, a cucumber with its juicy green color looks better.

Cut all the ingredients and put them in a bowl.

4. Cut the sticks into two or three parts and then cut into small strips, or disassemble into fibers. Also put them in a common bowl.

5. Add chopped herbs and rice.

6. Drain liquid from canned corn using a colander. Then add it to the total mass.

7. Add chopped green onions and mayonnaise.

You don't need to add a lot of mayonnaise. We need to leave the taste of the products, and not replace it with the taste of mayonnaise alone. Therefore, add it in doses. Add a little and stir. Look at the consistency, taste it. Is everything enough, is salt needed?

In terms of ingredients, everything should be up to par, since everything has already been calculated. But add salt and mayonnaise as you like.

8. You can serve the salad in a deep dish or on a flat plate, laying it out in a heap. In both cases, it will look fresh, beautiful and very positive.

You can put it in the refrigerator for 20 - 30 minutes to cool. And you can serve it immediately.

The ingredients can be cut two to three hours before the feast. Let it sit in the refrigerator for a while.

The only thing I would like to draw your attention to is that if you prepare the salad much in advance, do not season it with mayonnaise. Season just before serving.

Now you can try it. It turned out, as expected, tender, satisfying, with fresh cucumber notes. The aroma is very appetizing and exciting. The taste is amazing. Although it has been prepared for the table many times already, each time you are amazed at how tasty it can be, seemingly from very simple ingredients.

Crab salad with cucumber and corn without rice

If you want to get a less calorie result when cooking, you can exclude rice from it. Of course, not only will there be fewer calories, but the taste will also be different.

The cucumber and crab flavor will be more pronounced. And a little more sweetness will appear in the taste, this is from corn.

We will need (for two large servings):

• crab sticks – 100 – 150 g
• cucumber – 1 pc.
• corn – 150 g, or 0.5 cans
• eggs – 3 pcs.
• green onion – 2 stalks
• dill, parsley – 0.5 bunch
• mayonnaise - to taste
• salt - to taste

For decoration:

• Chinese cabbage – 2 leaves
• green onion – 1 – 2 feathers
• greenery
• cucumber
• pomegranate seeds - 1 tbsp. spoon

Preparation:

I decided to cook this option for dinner today. And we will have it for two persons. Therefore, I will prepare it in portions, using a cooking ring for decoration and serving.

But if you wish, you can cook it in a common dish.

1. Boil the eggs, cool and cut into cubes. If you have an egg slicer, you can use that too. With its help, the pieces are smooth and neat.

2. Cut the cucumbers into cubes. In this recipe we will cut all the ingredients in this way.

3. Cut the sticks lengthwise into two equal halves. Then chop them so that the size of the cubes is the same as the other ingredients.

As you prepare the products, put everything in a common bowl.

4. Add chopped green onions there and lay out the corn, from which all the liquid has previously been drained. This must be done so that the salad does not float.

5. Add chopped herbs. I decided to use both parsley and dill for more rich taste. Parsley will give a subtle delicate taste, and dill will give incredible aroma and appearance. How can you refuse something?!

Just like in the previous recipe, you shouldn’t add a lot of it. Do this gradually, you can always add more if the need arises.

7. Mix the mixture and taste. You can add a little salt if needed.

8. Next, prepare two serving plates and a metal cooking ring. If there are two rings, then cook them both. If it’s one thing, then we’ll do it one by one.

Line the bottom of the plate green leaf and place a cooking ring in the center. Fill it tightly with salad, lightly tamping the contents with a tablespoon along the entire circumference. This must be done especially carefully if you are serving it right away. If the mass is loose, it will not hold its shape and will fall apart.

9. You can put the dish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. But you can immediately remove the ring and continue decorating.

Make cuts on the onion and form branches. Using a vegetable peeler, cut thin strips from the cucumber and fold them in half. Arrange everything beautifully and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.

And you can serve it to the table. This is the beauty we got. And not only beauty, but also deliciousness!

Salad with crab sticks and green apple

You can omit the cucumber from some versions of the salad. And use a green apple instead. I also know that not everyone likes mayonnaise. So don't refuse them delicious dish! Moreover, you can always find an alternative to mayonnaise. And I suggest replacing it with a sour cream-based dressing.

We will need:

• crab sticks – 200 gr
• boiled eggs – 5 pieces
• corn - 1 can
• boiled rice – 1 cup
• green apple – 1 pc.

For refueling:

• vegetable oil – 3 tbsp. spoons
• apple cider vinegar 6% – 1 tbsp. spoon
• mustard – 1 teaspoon
• sour cream – 7 tbsp. spoons
• salt – 2 pinches

Preparation:

The salad is very simple. And it can be prepared both for a holiday and for everyday meals. It is clear that if you decide to cook it for a holiday, you need to think about how to decorate it. If you are preparing it for lunch or dinner, then you can serve it directly in the bowl in which we cook it.

Or move it to a more beautiful one.

1. Boil and cool the rice in advance. If you use regular rice, then take it dry, a little less than half a glass, or maybe half. During cooking it will double in volume.

If you use steamed rice, then take only 1/4 cup of it dry. As I already said, it will increase four times during cooking.

2. Peel the apple and cut into cubes. Also cut eggs and crab sticks. Place everything in a bowl.

3. Add corn, from which all liquid must first be drained.

And then chilled rice. Add salt to taste and stir.

4. Prepare the dressing. To do this, simply mix all the ingredients. If not apple cider vinegar, but there is lemon, you can add that too. Just like one tablespoon of vinegar.

The dressing will have the same consistency as mayonnaise.

5. Upload content required quantity refills. If the sour cream was thick, then all the dressing will go away, but if it is runny, then it may remain. But it’s better to have some left than not enough. Otherwise you will have to spend time finishing it. It can be used for another dish. Until then, store in the refrigerator.

Everything can be served immediately and enjoy the delicate, pleasant and fresh taste.

And you can take not only white cabbage, but also Peking cabbage. We've already prepared. But there is no such thing there. But there is a video recipe in which you can see how to make a flower from a head of this cabbage.

And here I would also like to place a video.

Recipe for salad with red caviar

In this video, the entire process of preparing the salad can be clearly seen. And if something was not clear from the description, here you can fill in the gap.

And also, you can see how an easy-to-prepare salad can be decorated and served for the holiday. This is just one of the options. You can decorate and serve as your imagination tells you.

Crab salad "Corn"

For example, my imagination told me to design it in the shape of corn. In this case, the recipe can be taken from absolutely any of the options offered today.

You can prepare the preparation either with or without rice; Either add cucumber or not. But two components must be present in the salad - crab meat, or sticks, and canned corn.

I was a little lazy and just sprinkled the corn kernels on the cob. Well, maybe I wasn’t even lazy, but I just didn’t find it for correct design the right time. After all, here you will need a lot of it.

And not for cooking, but for laying it out.

That is, first you need to chop all the ingredients. Then fill the contents with mayonnaise and place the cob-shaped piece on a plate.

And only then the fun begins. The grains need to be inserted into the vegetable mass in the same way as they are located in a real cob. That is, one after another and in order.

It's almost like putting together a puzzle. After all, the grains in the jar are all different sizes.

But it also turned out beautifully. And delicious! I know this because the cob has already been eaten.

To prepare it you need several fewer products than for regular salad. I'll write down the proportion.

• crab sticks – 100 g (or meat)
• cucumber – 1 pc.
• egg – 2 pcs
• green onion – 1 stalk
• greens – 0.5 bunch
• canned corn – 1 can
• mayonnaise and salt to taste

You can add rice, or you can omit it. As you wish.

Well, we saved this option for last.

In principle, there is nothing complicated in preparing salads. The ingredients are simple and the preparation is simple. And the result is always an A plus. That’s why they love to prepare it for many holidays.

The only difference is whether to add this or that product or not. This applies, I repeat, to cucumber and rice. Well, sometimes instead of corn you can find green peas. Such changes are also allowed in preparation.

Not so long ago I added fresh, finely grated carrots to the ingredients. And this option also appealed to everyone at home.

So, the most important thing is not to be afraid to experiment. After all, as you know, we eat not the name, but the dish. And the main thing is that it turns out appetizing and tasty. Therefore, if you like salads with crab meat, or crab sticks, and cook them often, then add variety. It's always interesting, and almost always the result is joyful and tasty.

And I would like to finish for today. I wish you delicious and creative success in preparing salads in particular, and dishes in general.

Bon appetit!

What you need to know to prepare

To prepare a delicious salad, it’s not enough to buy ingredients, cut them and combine them in a bowl. You need to know what you are buying. Always choose quality. Well, of course, a few more tips from us.

1. First of all, you should pay attention to the composition of the product. At the beginning of the list should be “surimi” or “ minced fish" This means that the sticks are indeed made from white fish. If you didn’t find such words in the first place, most likely the sticks contain ordinary fish soy;
2. The appearance of crab sticks plays an important role. The color of the meat should be white. If it is yellow, the meat has already gone bad. If it is gray, then cheap, low-quality fish was used in the sticks or flour was added. The red stripe should only be on one side of the sticks. Color from pink to red. If the color is too saturated, the manufacturer simply went too far with the dye;
3. When buying a chilled or frozen product, be sure to pay attention to where you got the product from. The location must be appropriate. That is, frozen sticks should be in freezer, but chilled in the refrigerator.

These are the three most important criteria by which you can determine the freshness of crab sticks and their quality. Be sure to remember our tips to buy good product.
