Salad Ingredients- 5 imitation crab sticks (krab meat sticks)
- 1/2 cucumber
- 1/4 onion
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the vegetables. Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then halve it lengthwise and slice it thinly into half-moons, about 0.5 cm thick. Finely slice the onion in the same way. For the imitation crab sticks, unwrap them and gently shred them into bite-sized pieces with your hands. Avoid shredding them too finely to maintain a pleasant texture.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious salad dressing. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 Tbsp of prepared mustard, 3 Tbsp of vinegar, 3 Tbsp of water, 2 Tbsp of sugar, and 1/2 Tbsp of minced garlic. Add a pinch of salt. Whisk all the ingredients together with a small whisk or spoon until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well combined. Ensure the mustard is smoothly incorporated without any lumps.
Step 3
Transfer the prepared cucumber, onion, and shredded imitation crab sticks into a large mixing bowl. Pour the mustard dressing evenly over the ingredients. Gently toss everything together until the crab sticks, cucumber, and onion are well coated with the dressing. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the vegetables mushy.
