Preparation
Step 1
It’s better to use natural canned saury without added oil, since the salad will be dressed with mayonnaise. You can also use already cooked rice, for example leftover from yesterday’s dinner. Choose short-grain rice - it is softer.
Step 2
Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes.
Step 3
Pour boiling water over the chopped onion and leave for about 10 minutes, then drain the water. This will make the onion less sharp.
Step 4
Open the canned fish and drain the liquid. Remove the bones from the fish, then mash it with a fork. Other canned fish, such as pink salmon, will also work in this salad.
Step 5
Add the steamed onion to the fish.
Step 6
Cook the rice. How to cook rice? Rinse the rice well, then pour in cold water in a 1:2 ratio - for 1 cup of rice use 2 cups of water (about 240 ml rice to 480 ml water). Salt the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook with the lid on for 20 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let the rice stand for about 15 minutes. It’s best to cook and cool the rice in advance.
Step 7
Add the completely cooled rice to the other ingredients.
Step 8
Boil the eggs hard. Cool, peel and cut them into small cubes. Add to the salad.
Step 9
Mix all the ingredients. Add salt if necessary, keeping in mind that the fish and mayonnaise already contain salt.
Step 10
Dress the salad with mayonnaise. I recommend using homemade mayonnaise - it’s more natural and tastier. You can replace mayonnaise with sour cream or a mixture of sour cream and plain yogurt.
Step 11
Serve this tasty, hearty and aromatic salad right away. Enjoy your meal!
