Ingredients
- 100 grams cucumbers (1 small cucumber, thinly sliced)
- 80 grams carrots (julienned)
- ¼ teaspoons salt
- 20 grams glass noodles
- 140 grams crab sticks
- 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
- 10 grams scallions (1 scallion, chopped)
- ¼ cup Japanese mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- lemon zest
Instructions
- Put the sliced 100 grams cucumbers and 80 grams carrots in a bowl and toss them with the ¼ teaspoons salt. Set these aside to sweat.
- Break the 20 grams glass noodles into 3-inch long pieces and add them to a heat-safe bowl. Pour boiling water over them until the noodles are completely covered. Let these cook and rehydrate for 7 minutes.
- Shred the 140 grams crab sticks by rolling them between your hands and then pulling the strands of crab stick apart.
- When the glass noodles are rehydrated, drain and rinse them with cold water. Squeeze out any excess water with your hands, and add them to the shredded crab sticks.
- Once the cucumbers and carrots start to limp, massage them with your hand to coax out more water. Then, gather the vegetables up with your hands and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Add these to the bowl with the other ingredients.
- To dress the Kani Salad, add the 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds, 10 grams scallions, and ¼ cup Japanese mayonnaise to the bowl, and then use a microplane to grate lemon zest from half the lemon into the salad. Next, cut the lemon in half and squeeze 2 teaspoons lemon juice into the salad.
- Toss the ingredients together and serve your Kani Salad on a bed of lettuce.
