Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad of Peking cabbage with chicken, crackers and tomatoes? First of all, prepare all the products that are listed. For a brighter and more appetizing look of the finished salad, take Bulgarian peppers of different colors, and red onions or shallots.
Step 2:
Wash and dry the chicken fillet with paper napkins or a kitchen towel. Cut the breast into small cubes, about 1.5cm by 1.5 cm .
Step 3:
In a frying pan with a thick bottom, heat a small amount of vegetable or olive oil (1-2 tablespoons will be quite enough). Send the chicken pieces to fry, the flame should be slightly above average. Lightly salt the fillets and add a pinch of your favorite seasoning. Cook, stirring constantly, until a golden hue appears on the meat.
Step 4:
Peel the onion. Cut the bell peppers in half, remove the core and seeds. Rinse all vegetables in cold water and dry.
Step 5:
Chop Chinese Peking cabbage into thin strips. Send it to the salad bowl.
Step 6:
Cut the bell peppers and onions into thin strips or feathers. Add to the cabbage.
Step 7:
Cut tomatoes into small pieces or slices. Cherry tomatoes are very good for a salad. They usually have a sweet taste and perfectly complement all the ingredients in the salad.
Step 8:
Add meat and crackers to the salad bowl. I used purchased ready-made croutons for salads. You can cook the crackers yourself. To do this, cut the white bread or loaf into small cubes. Fry the pieces of bread until golden brown in a small amount of vegetable oil, add a little salt, remove from heat and cool.
Step 9:
Prepare the salad dressing. In a deep small container, mix olive oil, squeezed lemon juice and garlic passed through a press.
Step 10:
Pour evenly over the salad. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, chopped finely. Parsley, dill, basil or chives will do well. If necessary, add salt to taste and pepper.
Step 11:
Stir the salad before serving. Done!
Note that if the salad is mixed in advance, the crackers may soften, which will spoil the appearance and taste of the finished dish. Alternatively, you can not add crackers during cooking, but offer them to each separately before serving.
Enjoy your meal!
Wash the meat, be sure to dry it with a paper towel, otherwise excessive moisture will not allow it to fry - it will stew.
Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
