Method

  1. Rinse the rice, cover with 130 ml water, season with salt, and cook for 18–20 minutes until tender. Let cool until warm.

  2. Cover the egg with water and cook for 9 minutes after it comes to a boil. Cool in cold water, peel, and cut in half.

  3. Cut the crab1 sticks into large pieces. Drain the corn.

  4. Grate half the cucumber3 and squeeze out the liquid, then mix with the yogurt, dill7, salt, and pepper. Dice the remaining cucumber.

  5. Spread the rice as the base in a bowl. Arrange the crab1 sticks, corn, cucumber3, and egg in sections.

  6. Add the yogurt sauce on top or on the side, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Tips

Why it works
Rinse the rice to remove the starch, which makes rice sticky and heavy. Cook it until soft, not crumbly, so it holds its shape in the bowl.
Substitutions
Instead of crab sticks, take boiled chicken breast (120 g) cut into cubes. Replace the yogurt with sour cream (50 g), but the sauce will be thicker.
Common mistakes
If the rice is overcooked, it falls apart when moved to the bowl. Test it by tasting: it should be soft but not mushy.
Storing and reheating
Keep for 2 days in the fridge, but add the sauce just before eating. Reheat in the microwave for 1–1.5 minutes, covering the plate.
Serve with
Serve with thin cucumber slices and lemon wedges to refresh the taste after the meal.
