Ingredients- 200g Shirataki noodles
- 1/2 Cucumber
- 2 Imitation crab sticks (krab meat)
- 1 Tbsp Nuts (e.g., walnuts)
- 4 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Cut the 1/2 cucumber in half lengthwise. Then, scoop out and discard the seedy core. Removing the seeds prevents excess moisture, leading to a crispier salad.
Step 2
Thinly julienne the seeded cucumber. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of salt over the julienned cucumber and gently mix. Let it sit for a while to draw out moisture, ensuring a crisp texture. This can be done while preparing the other ingredients.
Step 3
Shred the imitation crab sticks following their natural grain. Shred them into bite-sized pieces so they mix well with the shirataki noodles.
Step 4
Finely chop the nuts you are using. I used walnuts here. The nuts will add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the salad.
Step 5
Rinse the shirataki noodles thoroughly under running water a couple of times. This helps remove any characteristic odor and prepares them for cooking.
Step 6
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 1 Tbsp of vinegar. Blanch the rinsed shirataki noodles for about 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become mushy. Immediately drain and rinse them under cold water to cool. Drain thoroughly in a colander. (Although not shown in the picture, it’s recommended to cut the long shirataki noodles into manageable lengths with scissors to prevent clumping.)
Step 7
In a bowl, combine the drained shirataki noodles with the julienned cucumber, shredded imitation crab sticks, and chopped nuts. It’s time to add the dressing.
Step 8
Add 4 Tbsp of mayonnaise and 1 Tbsp of sugar to the bowl. Gently mix everything together until well combined. The creamy mayonnaise and hint of sweetness create a delicious shirataki noodle mayo salad.
Step 9
This finished salad offers a wonderful balance of the mayonnaise’s richness, the chewy texture of the shirataki noodles, the crispness of the cucumber, the tenderness of the crab sticks, and the satisfying crunch of the nuts. It’s a truly appealing dish, perfect as a side or a light meal.
Step 10
This easy-to-make Shirataki Mayo Salad is a fantastic accompaniment to spicy foods, helping to cool the palate. Enjoy this healthy and delicious dish! Wishing you a healthy and happy day.
