Cooking stuffed crab sticks
1. Prepare the filling. Grate the melted cheese, preferably with medium cloves, so that the appetizer looks neat.
2. Dip the egg in cold water and boil it hard boil for 10 minutes. Then cool in cold water, peel and grate on the same grater as the cheese.
3. Peel the garlic and squeeze through a press.
4. Wash the dill and chop finely.
5. Put all products in one container and add mayonnaise to them. Add mayonnaise carefully so as not to overdo it, it is better to do it in stages. Since if you pour a lot of mayonnaise, the filling will be liquid, which will lead to it flowing out of the crab roll.
6. Stir the filling well.
7. Now proceed to the most delicate process - unwrapping the crab sticks. To do this, remove the sticks from the refrigerator in advance so that they acquire room temperature. Then release them from the film and press down on all sides to reveal the layered structure of the product. You will find the last fold, from which it is worth starting to unfold it. This is the most reliable and reliable way. But if you still can't turn it around, then hold it over the hot steam for about 30 seconds. Then it will become more elastic, and it will be easier to unfold.
8. On the unwrapped stick, apply a thin layer of the filling.
9. Roll the stick in the opposite direction. Do not press down on it so that the filling does not leak. The appetizer can be served in the form of such rolls, or you can cut it into rolls. But this should be done only before serving it to the table. Therefore, if you are going to serve the chopsticks after a while, then wrap them with cling film and refrigerate.
