Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make "Men's Tears" salad? Gather the ingredients. I used fillet, but any part of the chicken will do. Green onion can be replaced with regular onion; if you like, scald it with boiling water to take off the harsh edge.
Step 2:

Wash the chicken. I salted the fillet lightly and baked it in foil in the oven. You can also boil the chicken in salted boiling water until done. Let the chicken cool.
Step 3:

Take the mushrooms out of the marinade and let the liquid drain. Cut the mushrooms into slices or small cubes.
Step 4:

Cut the cooled chicken into small cubes.
Step 5:

It's convenient to build the salad using a plating ring. I used the ring from an 18 cm springform pan. Set the ring on a flat plate and lay down the prepared chicken.
Step 6:

Brush the chicken layer with mayonnaise.
Step 7:

Wash the green onion, dry it well, and chop it finely. Scatter the green onion over the chicken layer.
Step 8:

Spread the chopped mushrooms evenly on top. Brush with mayonnaise.
Step 9:

Hard-boil the eggs ahead of time, for 8–9 minutes. Cover them with cold water to cool. Peel the eggs and grate them on a coarse grater.
Step 10:

Put the egg layer on top of the mushrooms and brush with mayonnaise.
Step 11:

Then add a layer of Korean-style carrots and dab on a little mayonnaise.
Step 12:

Grate the cheese on a fine grater.
Step 13:

Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the salad. Cover the salad with cling film and put it in the refrigerator so it sets and chills a little.
Step 14:

Remove the plating ring, garnish the salad with herbs if you like, and serve.
Step 15:

Enjoy!

Always wash eggs before using them, since even a seemingly clean shell can carry harmful bacteria. It's best to use food-safe detergent and a brush.
It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself. It'll be tastier and healthier. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as a dressing instead of mayonnaise. Use them on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to taste — that lowers the calorie count of the dish.
