I have long wanted to cook a festive appetizer stuffed crab sticks, there is a suitable recipe, today we will do it.

Let's prepare crab sticks stuffed with cottage cheese, I decided to add salmon to the cottage cheese, which is not necessary. You can simply stuff them with salted cottage cheese, with the addition of sour cream and herbs - it will be tasty and economical, the option with salmon, of course, is more expensive. The version of this dish with sour cream seemed to me tender, but a little fresh, you can use mayonnaise instead of sour cream.

As for the choice of chopsticks for snacks, try to take those that contain more surimi - this is the fish mixture used to produce the product. Accordingly, the higher the content of surimi, the better they should be.

Of course, pay attention to how they are made - it should be clear that the sticks are not pressed, but rolled, otherwise, how are we going to stuff them? Many people advise taking the chilled version, but I always take frozen ones and defrost them in boiling water - they unwind perfectly, do not break, and generally become more elastic, easy to process.

In general, I like this festive appetizer for its quick preparation, simplicity, cheapness of ingredients, attractive festive appearance and, of course, taste. Now I will cook often and try other fillings for stuffing, of which there can be a lot, connect your imagination and cook different options. Let's get started...

• slightly salted salmon (300 g) - optional
• sour cream or mayonnaise (3 tbsp)
• greenery
• salt - to taste

First of all, you need to buy good crab sticks. This product is produced by many manufacturers, but not all products are of excellent quality. Please read the ingredients list before purchasing. Its basis should be minced fish - surimi. Therefore, this ingredient should come first in the list of ingredients. If it is listed second or third, then there is a minimum amount of fish in the product. And the basis is soy protein and starch.

Pay attention to the appearance too. The sticks should be white, painted red or pink on top. But there should be no gray or yellow spots on them.

To stuff the sticks, they need to be unrolled. To do this as carefully as possible, follow the recommendations:

• If possible, use chilled rather than frozen crab sticks;
• If this is not possible, then the sticks should be allowed to completely thaw at room temperature;
• then you need to gently squeeze the stick from the sides, then on the cut you can see its layered structure;
• dip the sticks in hot water for 30 seconds, this will make them more elastic and easier to unfold;
• we begin to unfold the stick from the last fold located on the outside.

The unfolded stick is smeared with stuffing and wrapped again. So that the sticks do not unfold, they need to be put in the cold for a while. It takes 30-60 minutes of cooling.

Then the stuffed sticks are cut into several pieces, making an incision obliquely. As a rule, the appetizer is served without heat treatment, but some recipes provide for subsequent batter frying.

Stuffed crab sticks

Transfer the cottage cheese to a deep container, add pre-washed and chopped dill, salt and put sour cream. Knead the mass with a fork until homogeneous.

Put the filling on the unfolded edge with a small spoon and wind the roll, slightly crushing it so that the filling is well connected with the base. The roll will increase significantly in volume.
