Salad “Sail” with smoked chicken

Potato chips are originally used here. It is decorated with them, and thanks to them it got its name. If you're like us and don't want to use store-bought chips, make some fried potato strips and substitute. The dish will only benefit from this. Based on its taste and composition of ingredients, it can be classified as a so-called “winter” salad. It is nourishing and tastes simply amazing.

Ingredients:

smoked chicken – 100g;
Korean carrots – 100g (or 1 fresh carrot + 1 onion + spices);
canned corn – 3-4 tbsp;
eggs – 2 pcs;
potatoes – 1 piece;
sunflower oil –100ml;
mayonnaise.
salt.

How to prepare “Sail” salad

Of course, you can buy Korean carrots ready-made. However, I don’t really trust semi-finished products (or rather, I don’t trust them at all), so I prefer to make it myself, especially since it’s not difficult to prepare. To do this, grate the carrots into strips. Place in a cup, add 1/4 tsp. salt and press lightly with your hands. This is necessary to make the carrots softer.
Chop the onion finely.
Pour oil into the pan, leaving 2 tbsp. for potatoes. Heat and fry the onion. Fry it well until brown. We won’t need it later; we need it to give all its taste to the oil.
Add 0.5 tsp to the carrots. spices from the set “for Korean carrots”. Pour hot oil through a strainer. This will keep the onions in the sieve, and the oil will scald the carrots. Now it needs to be cooled. During cooling, the carrots will be saturated and can be used for our purposes.
Let's move on to making potato strips (if you have chips, skip this step). Peel the potatoes and grate them on the same grater as the carrots to get sticks.
Then rinse under running water to remove excess starch.
Place on paper towels and dry.
Pour the remaining oil into the frying pan. Heat it up and add straws. Stirring frequently to prevent sticking, fry until crispy.
We take it out again onto towels, this time to remove excess oil. And add a pinch of salt.
When the carrots and potatoes have cooled, cut the chicken into smaller pieces. Place on a flat plate in one layer.
Lubricate with mayonnaise.
Place carrots on top.
The next layer is corn.
And again mayonnaise.
Grate the hard-boiled eggs and sprinkle them on the salad.
Sprinkle everything on top with crispy potato strips.
And I made a sail for it from a napkin and a wooden skewer.

If we consider it from a technological point of view, smoking is the processing of food with a smoke-air mixture. As a result, the product acquires a dark shade and a characteristic pleasant aroma and taste. You can prepare a lot of dishes from such smoked delicacies, for example, salads with smoked breast or portioned salads.

Among the so-called old smoking, two types can be distinguished: hot and cold.

Hot is carried out at a temperature of 35 to 45 degrees. Mainly used for making sausages with a limited shelf life. This process takes relatively little time (about two days or even less).

As for cold smoking, it is produced at a temperature of 18 to 22 degrees. The technological process lasts a long time (up to 45 days). But the product obtained using this smoking method is intended for long-term storage.

In the modern world, where everything has to move faster, there is no time for hot, much less cold, smoking. Experts have invented a new method of liquid smoking, thanks to which you can give any product a smoked taste in just a few hours without much expense.

However, it is worth noting that smoking does not provide any benefit to the body. Only harm. But if with traditional cold and hot smoking this harm is minimal, then when treated with smoking liquid it increases significantly.

Unfortunately, today more and more industries are switching to liquid smoking. Therefore, to avoid health problems, pay attention to the packaging and do not buy such products.

Rice salad with smoked chicken and pineapple

Thinking through your holiday menu? Pay attention to the salad with smoked ham. This snack is loved by gourmets for its ease of preparation, incredible taste and satiety. Smoked chicken goes well with many ingredients. So let’s feel free to experiment and add new flavor notes to the classic salad!

Smoked chicken legs can be combined with any vegetables and mushrooms. But you should not mix fresh tomatoes and cucumbers in one dish, because then the taste of the meat will not be pronounced.
There is also no need to add mushrooms and beans to the salad at the same time. The fact is that legumes will dull the taste of mushrooms.
You can season a salad with smoked ham with mayonnaise, sour cream and homemade yogurt without additives.
Instead of legs, you can use any other part of smoked chicken meat. But remember that the breast itself is a bit dry, and the wings and backs contain a lot of bones and need to be added in larger quantities than the legs.

On a note! If you are on a diet, replace smoked legs with boiled chicken. True, then the salad will be less juicy and bright.
