Salad with champignons and crab sticks - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use canned mushrooms for convenience, but drain and rinse them first to remove excess brine. Note that canned mushrooms may have a softer texture compared to fresh ones.
Store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For best freshness, add vinegar and pepper just before serving.
For a vegetarian version, replace crab sticks with diced marinated tofu or artichoke hearts for a similar texture and umami flavor.
To reduce carbs, omit the carrots or replace them with lower-carb veggies like zucchini or bell peppers. Check crab stick labels for added sugars.
Avoid overcrowding the pan and cook mushrooms on medium-high heat to let moisture evaporate quickly, ensuring a golden-brown, non-soggy result.
This salad is delicious both warm and cold. Serve it warm immediately after cooking or chilled for a refreshing twist.
Double or triple the ingredients proportionally. Use a large skillet or cook in batches to ensure even frying of mushrooms and onions.
Freezing is not recommended as the texture of mushrooms and crab sticks may become mushy upon thawing. Enjoy fresh or refrigerated.
Try topping with sesame seeds, toasted nuts, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra crunch and flavor.
