It is not uncommon to use crab sticks for appetizers and salads, because they are great for the holiday table. They have a light, tender and juicy flavor, as well as a pleasant texture. A few decades ago, we did not have the opportunity to try such a treat, because it was not exported outside of Japan. The
very first similarity of crab sticks in Japan was called surimi. It was a grinded minced fish meat. When the number of crabs dwindled, the cost of crab meat rose in price. An alternative was needed. Surimi began to imitate crab meat. This idea has caught on very well in countries all over the world. Let’s try to prepare a salad from crab sticks.
Ingredients for the salad:
- crab sticks – 300-400 g;
- eggs – 5 pcs;
- onion – pcs;
