- The fresh cucumber can be diced or cut into strips, as you wish, but do not chop too finely.
- It is better to dice the hard-boiled eggs. If you cut them into strips, the salad will look untidy.
- Thinly slice the green onions. You can also use onion, but it must first be poured with boiling water to soften the bitterness since the salad mainly consists of delicate ingredients.
- It is better to use good quality rice for the salad so that it is fluffy after boiling. Boil the rice in a small amount of salted water for about ten minutes after boiling. Then turn off the heat and let it sit for another ten minutes. Rinse the finished rice under running water.
- Take good quality canned corn from a manufacturer you trust. The success of the entire salad depends on the quality and taste of the corn.
- Place all prepared ingredients in a large bowl, add freshly ground pepper, and mayonnaise, and salt to taste if necessary.
