Instruction manual
1
Wash and boil chicken until cooked in salted water, cool and chop finely.
2
Chop the onion and pour boiling water. Let it brew for 10 minutes, drain and rinse in cold water. This will kill the bitterness and pungent smell of onions.
3
Peel the potatoes and cut into very small strips. It is best to use a special grater for Korean carrots.
4
Fry the potatoes until golden brown in a large amount of vegetable oil. It is best to fry in small portions so that the potatoes do not stick together.
5
Cut the cucumbers into strips.
6
Boil chicken eggs, cool, separate the yolks and proteins and grate the latter on a fine grater.
7
Finely chop the greens.
8
Combine part of the potato with fillet, cucumbers, onions, egg whites and add a little salt. Season all the ingredients with mayonnaise and mix well.
9
Getting to the design. Put lettuce on a flat dish. Put the remaining fried potatoes in a circle in the center of which the salad is placed. It should not be a slide, but should be on a par with potatoes.
10
Cover the salad with chopped greens and put quail eggs on it. As a result, the dish turns out in the form of a nest.
Useful advice
If there are no quail eggs, then they can be made from the remaining yolks. Grind them with mayonnaise and add finely chopped greens. From the resulting mass, form small testicles and put on a salad.
