Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make a salad with crab sticks, rice, and corn? Gather the ingredients. Open the can of corn and drain off the liquid. Rinse the cucumber well under running water. I use long-grain rice — it stays firmer.
Step 2:

For the salad, you need to boil the rice and eggs. Drop the rice into boiling water and cook it according to the package directions. This usually takes 15–20 minutes. The rice should become soft. Drain the cooked rice in a colander to remove the excess water. Cool the rice. Boil the eggs in boiling water for 7–8 minutes. Then cool them in cold water and peel them.
Step 3:

For the salad, take a roomy, deep bowl and combine the chopped eggs and canned corn in it.
Step 4:

Cut the cucumber into small cubes into the bowl.
Step 5:

Then add the chopped crab sticks.
Step 6:

Add the cooled rice to the bowl and dress the salad with mayonnaise. Mix all the ingredients.
Step 7:

The salad with crab sticks, rice, and corn is ready! Chill it a little before serving. Enjoy!

How do you buy good crab sticks? Be sure to check the product's expiration date. Surimi (minced white fish) should be first on the ingredient list. Important! Don't buy the product if there's frost on it — that's a sign of refreezing. Fresh sticks should be free of gray and yellow spots, firm, and slightly moist. If the product is sticky, it's gone bad.
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.
