Step 1:
How to make a salad with rice, crab sticks, cucumber and corn? This salad can be called a classic, since usually these ingredients are in all recipes of crab salads, and the rest of the ingredients are changed and added to taste. For example, a fresh cucumber, it perfectly complements and refreshes this salad. If desired, green onions can be added to the ingredients, it will improve the taste of the dish. Crab sticks can be replaced with crab meat or peeled shrimp.
Step 2:
The most important ingredient of this salad, which requires proper preparation, is rice. It should be cooked in such a way that it is not half-cooked and hard and at the same time does not turn into porridge, it turns out crumbly. The taste of the whole salad depends on it. It is better to take long-grain rice. Rinse the rice well, fill it with water so that the proportion is 3 cups of water per 1 cup of rice. Put on the fire, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium.
Step 3:
During cooking, stir the rice several times so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan. When there is little water left, turn off the heat and leave the rice under the lid. The remaining water will be absorbed into the rice completely. Stir it and let it cool.
Step 4:
Wash the eggshells with soap, put them in a saucepan, fill with water and put on fire. Boil the eggs for about 20 minutes from the moment the water boils. Drain the water, pour the chicken eggs immediately with ice water and leave for a while. Then, when the chicken eggs cool down, peel and finely chop with a knife or pass through an egg cutter.
Step 5:
Wash the fresh cucumber and cut it into small cubes with a knife.
Step 6:
Cut crab sticks into slices or cubes, as you like.
Step 7:
Put all the ingredients in a salad bowl, add salt to taste and season with mayonnaise. Mix it up. Let the salad cool and soak in the refrigerator. And serve it to the table. Bon appetit!

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).
