Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken breasts thoroughly under cold water. If the breasts are thick, gently pierce them in several places with a fork to help them cook evenly and absorb flavors better.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a pot and add aromatics like green onion or onion pieces to the boiling water. This helps to remove any unpleasant odor from the chicken. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Step 3
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the bell pepper, onion, and cucumber into julienne strips. Shred or slice the imitation crab sticks to a similar size. Feel free to substitute with other vegetables you have on hand or prefer, such as carrots or red onions, to make the salad more vibrant.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the mustard sauce. Whisk them together until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is well blended. Adjust the amount of mustard according to your spice preference. Ensure all components are thoroughly mixed for a harmonious flavor.
Step 5
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the boiling water and let it cool in cold water for a few minutes. Drain the chicken well, gently squeeze out excess water, and then shred or slice it into bite-sized pieces. Be careful not to handle the chicken while it’s too hot, as this can make it tough.
Step 6
Arrange the prepared vegetables, shredded chicken, and imitation crab sticks attractively on a serving platter or in a bowl.
Step 7
Drizzle the prepared mustard sauce over the salad just before serving. The tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy sauce will perfectly complement the fresh ingredients. If you prefer a milder flavor or are serving children, you can mix in some mayonnaise or mustard sauce to soften the mustard’s kick. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
