When I first saw crab sticks, and it was a long time ago, I thought, why are crabs cut up like that? And probably for a year or two I thought it was made from crabs. Then, of course, I found out that there were absolutely no crabs there. But having already tasted them, he continued to cook them.
I must say that crab sticks are very useful in every sense. Firstly, they are quite tasty, and when surrounded or mixed with other ingredients, they are very tasty. Secondly, they are low in calories, but filling. So if you do not overuse mayonnaise, there will be very few calories in a salad made from them. Thirdly, it is very easy to cook. These three positions alone are enough to pay attention to.
Have a look and try making some salads with different ingredients or differently designed.

7. We also cut the tomato in half, place it on the table with the cut side, cut it in half again parallel to the table and cut it into slices.
8. Cut the tomato into small cubes.
Let's start collecting the salad. We will do this in portions, and not in a common salad bowl. On the plate in which we will serve the salad, place a round culinary form, remember that if there is no such shape, you can cut it out from plastic bottle from under drinks.
9. First of all, lay out the chopped crab sticks with mayonnaise.
10. Next sliced cucumbers.

Please write in the comments whether you liked the recipes or not. I really need Feedback with you to understand what I need to pay attention to. Thank you.
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 main 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 (1/4 cup dry rice)
- 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 pour cold water cool. 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.
And instead of green onions, you can use regular onions. 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, no cucumber was 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.

It takes almost the same amount of time to create as the regular version. And from the design you just need to create the shape of corn and sprinkle it with grains canned product. And to create more fun mood add green in the form of lettuce, dill and parsley, and use red in the form of pomegranate seeds.

Layered crab salad "Leningradsky"
If this dish is served on festive table, then soon nothing remains of him at all. The guests quickly deal with him and ask if there is any refill. And if there is no supplement, then immediately after the feast they ask for the recipe. And if there is an additive, they eat it too, and then still ask for the recipe. And so every time.
We will need:
- crab sticks – 200 g (meat can be used)
- boiled rice – 1 cup (1/4 part dry)

- onions – 2 pcs
- carrots – 2 – 3 pcs.

It is best to cook it in a springform baking dish, or cut a form out of cardboard. In this case, it will look like a cake. But if you don’t want to do this, you can simply lay it out in layers in a deep dish. This will not affect the quality of taste in any way.
I will describe this recipe in the layers category. Therefore, read the entire recipe first to get an overall picture of it and so that everything becomes clear in the end.
Each layer should be generously greased with mayonnaise.
1 layer - boiled rice. It must first be boiled and then cooled. It is best to use steamed rice. It does not boil over, does not stick together, and expands well during cooking.
2nd layer – sticks, or if possible, grate the crab meat on a coarse grater.
3rd layer – boiled eggs grate and place on top of the meat.
Layer 4 – fry the onions and carrots separately. Chop the champignons or any other pickled mushrooms. Mix all. This time we will create such a complex layer.
At the end of cooking, put ready dish in the refrigerator for 3 hours. If you prepared it in a springform pan, then cool it in it. Then it will need to be removed. Don't serve it in it.
Decorate to your liking. I did not write down the ingredients for decoration in the recipe. But it could be a red fish that can be made from beautiful roses. There will be a link to this just below.
You can also decorate with red caviar, cheese, olives, and black olives. That is, what the main product can be combined with. Or you can simply decorate with fresh herbs. It will also be very beautiful.
