Description
A recipe from Jessica Smith, concept chef at 'The Ramen House'. This is a family recipe from Jessica Smith's family, wife of restaurateur David Johnson. This is how her mother prepares the salad in Nagano, and Jessica believes that it originally stems from a Russian salad, a variation of Olivier. Although Chef Alex Miller has adapted the recipe slightly, it still retains echoes of a holiday salad along with Asian influences.

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and boil them whole in salted water until tender. Cut them in half to release excess steam.
Step 2
Cut the bacon into small strips and lightly fry it over low heat — the bacon should become crispy on the outside while remaining soft on the inside.
Step 3
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, sprinkle with salt, and then squeeze them well (you can place them between two sheets of paper towel and gently roll a rolling pin over them).
Step 4
Boil the carrots until tender, then slice them into thin half-moons. Cut the onion into thin strips.
Step 5
Place the potatoes and boiled eggs in a bowl and mash them with a potato masher. Then, using your fingers, sift through the mixture while mixing and breaking up any large pieces. The result should have a porridge-like consistency.
Step 6
Prepare the aioli sauce. In a blender, combine 70 grams of mayonnaise with garlic, Mitsukan (a type of rice vinegar), soy sauce, and lemon juice. Add freshly ground pepper to taste.
Step 7
Prepare the dressing. Place 150 grams of mayonnaise in a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of aioli sauce, and mix well (the remaining aioli can be used in other salads, such as shrimp salad).
Step 8
In a serving dish, combine the mashed potatoes with the egg, bacon, carrots, and onion. Dress with mayonnaise mixed with aioli. Top the salad with shavings of tuna.
