Kamabokosalad Recipes

KAMABOKO DIP

Steps:

• Using a grater, grate kamaboko being careful not to cut your fingers.

• Serve with your favorite cracker or chip. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

HAWAIIAN MACARONI SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the elbow macaroni pasta for 1-2 minutes more than the cook time listed on the package. Drain and set aside.
• Place the elbow macaroni in a bowl and mix in the mayonnaise, grated onions, shredded carrots, finely diced celery, salt, and pepper.
• Refrigerate the dish at least an hour - this allows the flavors to mix. Serve slightly chilled (remove from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving) as a side dish. Enjoy!

SOMEN SALAD

Steps:

• First step is to prepare all the toppings. Thinly slice the kamaboko (or can use char siu, ham, or Spam). Julienne the cucumber and carrot. Chop the green onions. Scramble the eggs, let cool, and then thinly slice.
• Second step is to prepare the sauce. Put the chicken broth, sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil together in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve the sugar. Pour in a small bowl and set aside.
• Now cook the somen noodles. Bring water to a boil. Slice in the two bundles of dried somen noodles and cook for 3 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water (this stops the somen from cooking and cools the noodles).
• Then it is time to assemble! Divide the somen noodles between two bowls and top with the kamaboko, cucumber, carrots, green onions, and egg. Use as much or as little of the toppings as you prefer. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
• Pour the sauce all over the noodles/toppings. Mix with chopsticks and eat. Enjoy ^_^
