Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 Fresh Croissants
- 2 Leaves of Cabbage
- 1/2 Cucumber
- 4 Crab Sticks (Imitation Crab Meat)
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Honey Mustard
- 4 Slices of Ham
- 2 Slices of Cheese
- 8 Lettuce Leaves
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the cabbage leaves and pat them dry. Finely shred the cabbage to achieve a crisp texture. Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl.
Step 2
Peel the cucumber using a peeler (making strips) and then julienne it finely, similar to the cabbage. Lightly squeeze out any excess moisture.
Step 3
Gently shred the crab sticks using your fingers or a fork, following the natural grain of the meat. Avoid shredding them too finely to maintain a pleasant chewiness. Add the shredded crab sticks to the bowl with the vegetables.
Step 4
Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of honey mustard to the bowl with the prepared crab sticks and vegetables. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. Taste the salad and adjust the amount of mayonnaise or honey mustard according to your preference.
Step 5
Carefully slice each croissant horizontally, but only about two-thirds of the way through, creating a pocket for the filling. Be cautious not to cut all the way through to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Step 6
Wash the lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Gently tuck the lettuce leaves into the opened croissants on both sides. The fresh crunch of lettuce adds a wonderful element to the sandwich.
Step 7
Cut the cheese slices diagonally in half. This shape makes them easier to fit inside the croissant and adds a visually appealing touch.
Step 8
Fold the ham slices diagonally in half, just like the cheese, and tuck them into the croissant. The savory flavor of the ham will further enhance the sandwich’s taste.
Step 9
Finally, generously fill the pocket of each croissant with the prepared crab stick salad. Ensure you don’t overfill to prevent any mess. Your delicious crab stick croissant sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed!
