Preparation
Step 1
Boil eggs in advance and cool them; using warm ingredients can spoil the salad. Use any canned fish you like. I used Pacific saury.
Step 2
Cook rice in plenty of boiling salted water until done. Drain in a colander and rinse with clean water to prevent sticking. Let rice cool - it should be fluffy and separate.
Step 3
Remove canned fish from the can and shake off excess liquid. Mash with a fork. Drain any remaining liquid in the bowl.
Step 4
Wash cucumbers, pat dry, and grate on a coarse grater or Korean-style grater. If the peel is thin, unblemished, and not bitter, leave it. Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated cucumbers.
Step 5
Hard-boil the eggs, cool, and peel. Grate on a coarse grater. To hard-boil eggs: place in cold water, bring to a boil over low heat, cook 9 minutes after boiling, then cool in cold water. For optional layering, grate whites and yolks separately.
Step 6
Wash and dry dill and parsley, then finely chop. Optionally, replace or add other herbs like cilantro, green onion, or a mix of herbs.
Step 7
Place a 5.5-inch (14 cm) cooking ring on a plate. Add a layer of canned fish and smooth it. Cover with a mayonnaise grid.
Step 8
Add a layer of cooked rice on top of the fish and drizzle with mayonnaise.
Step 9
Next, add grated cucumbers and lightly salt. No need to cover with mayonnaise - they are juicy enough.
Step 10
Add grated eggs on top and spread mayonnaise over them.
Step 11
Generously sprinkle the salad with chopped herbs. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to let flavors meld.
Step 12
Before serving, remove the cooking ring. Serve decorated with cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices. Enjoy!
