Here’s my printed recipe for egg salad that is not quite the same as how I make mine in the video: www.seriouseats.com/the-best-... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Look man, how else am I gonna spend 10 minutes on a Tuesday both entertained and informed? Cooking tutorials are a balm for the soul.
I need your profile picture.
Well said!
They truly are. Also a thing about cooking vids: they always have a good ending👍
@@ivorploom2042 hey, here’s the link to the picture, you can download it for free.
Have a nice day.
You put the balm on? Who told you to put the balm on? I didn't tell you to put the balm on. Why'd you put the balm on? You haven't even been to see the doctor. If you’re gonna put a balm on, let a doctor put a balm on.
I was one of your egg peelers at Wursthall! Love seeing that data turned into practice.
Ok, but it was a great 10 minutes on a Tuesday, watching Kenji make an egg salad sandwich. No regrets.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Ended up watching this on release so it IS a Tuesday! And I gotta say, yes, I was definitely hoping to spend 10 minutes of it watching someone make an egg salad sandwich.
Hah yeah, my mind was blown until I realized this was released today.
DITTO
"someone"? no. kenji? yes
"Lets give it a little taste," hands covered in egg salad, he pulls our a spoon, lmfao.
After spending the last year of my life finding new ways to use that homemade mayo I can't believe I never thought of this
I don't know why, but I love this comment. This is me with so many homemade or random specialty condiments.
My condolences 🙏🙏
I bought shopping-mall sushi... and used it to basically convey the mayo into my mouth.
After u take the shell off the egg
Rinse the egg under water for small fragments that can go into the salad
My god
Yeah, but I'm not just watching _some guy_ make an egg salad sandwich, I'm watching a guy who tested and documented egg boiling techniques with hundreds of volunteers and double-blind research studies!
Exactly!
And a guy who's fridge contents pretty much looks like mine.
He might have done all the research, and taught you and many others on the job, but he didn’t teach it in THIS vid. The only think he taught was to start the cooking in hot water instead of cold. What about the rest?
I want to know how you can get them to the right doneness (overcooking makes a green yolk ring- so how long to boil?) And how do you peel, say, a dozen eggs, not just 1-2, without the shells getting difficult to peel without damaging the cosmetics of the egg if you are making something like halved eggs for a Cobb salad or for deviled eggs?
He left out the important stuff.
So yeah….you are just watching some guy make an egg salad sandwich. And we all know how to do that, I I would hope.
"like a yippiyuck that won't let go"
Ah, I see you're a man of culture.
took me a second, but I recognized that Shel Silverstein reference!
Me listening to Kenji’s egg talk right after watching his hard boiled egg video where he gave the same talk but not caring because its just as interesting the second time
Only one Pup?
I feel like one of the highlights from the last 18 months is Kenji teaching us FOR FREE!
I'm a decent home cook but I learn something new in every video. Even an egg salad video. 😊
this video was 1 year a go, yet he knows that I watch this on Tuesday!
When he was talking about accepting egg-salad from his friend, anyone else think he was about to break out into a Dr. Seuss monologue? No? Just me?
Lol yes!
I imagined that’s a lot like how he talks to his daughter!
I thought of the Potion Seller meme
"I do not like green eggs and ham"
*Has entire hand covered in egg salad* *grabs spoon to taste*
Love you Kenji!
My lonely braincell was screaming and jumping up and down because of that.
but if he just licked his hand, he couldn't go back to hand-stir if it wasn't already how he wanted it (and he did wind up tweaking it and mixing again).
Thanks for the quality content, Kenji. It's always fun watching you cook, and I always learn something.
Kenji, you’re an overall awesome guy. I learn so much from you, but you always making me smile. Thank you for shining light on our day.
i actually was trying to make egg salad a few weeks ago and the first thing i did was search this channel for a recipe but couldnt find one, papa Kenji always blesses you when you really need it.
2 things, Kenji:
- nice toenail polish
- "Dude, you're getting a Dill" would be a great line
🤣
I was just happy to have my fourth Kenji video this week!
For crunchiness, canned water chestnuts are awesome. I'll bet jicama would be good as well.
Kenji I just wanted to say I have made probably 10 of your recipes for my family and friends and they have all been amazing and made people so happy! Thank you so much for making content that brings people together you are a legend!
I love the tactile feel of using my hands whether in the garden or recipes like this including salads. It just has all the feels of completion done right.
"... but that is exactly what you've done."
I don't know whether to feel proud or called out but either way I regret nothing.
Kenji's been having fun with the nail varnish
I was mid video when I first noticed it. Lol
I don't get it, can you elaborate?..
can't say no to our daughters
what I appreciate the most about your cooking videos, Kenji, is how positive you are in people doing things differently and trying out different things to taste
Kenji, thanks for all you do. Not a huge egg salad fan but a HUGE Kenji fan. Thanks for sharing your craft and making a bright spot in everyone's day!
Today is Tuesday and I'm happy I found this video. Kenji's videos are always fun and informative. But hey...Kenji saying "Did you think you'd be spending 10 minutes of your Tuesday watching someone make an egg salad sandwich?..." creeped the sh*t out of me.
I've been following your work for years. It's wild when you do a new video that re-teaches something that you figured out a long time ago. I've been starting my hard boiled eggs in boiling water for so long, I had forgotten that I learned it from you.
I made this today morning(Tuesday) for breakfast and my wife & I loved it. Thanks, Kenji!
Grew up with my grandmothers egg salad, its part of my history. She would love everything about this, even the hands. Thank you!
I was actually just up visiting my grandma to "steal" her egg salad recipe haha Hers is a lot more simple, but she makes it with love!
I cooked at a retirement place in the south US. One woman there would stop you in the hall and tell you how you had gone astray putting onions in egg salad. Very opinionated and micu more simple with the older recipes lol
@@redtheftauto lol that's great! my grandma definitely uses onion, but nothing else in the way of veggies haha
omg i was so excited to see kenjis peeling technique only to realize we have the same peeling technique i feel like an egg genius
I love watching making egg salad on a Tuesday because it relaxes me and I can do it while waiting for notes from client.
These 10 minutes were the highlight of my lunch break, so thank you!
Your egg salad looks delicious. I can't believe I actually learned to use my hands to mix egg salad. I'm going to do this the next time I make it. Thank you Kenji. ❤️
... will never eat an egg salad again! The grease in the mayo, the dead skin cells, the stuff under the fingernails... far from appetizing.
Hello Kenji, I always watch your videos when I need to relax. Something about your video screams relaxation idk why also what do you think about cutting pickles lengthwise for burgers?
I do like that in a burger sometimes.
I agree with Jack and have said it before. I love to watch Kenji for his recipes, but I also watch for the relaxation. I appreciate his knowledge and the way he teaches not only the recipes but the utensils he uses and why. I also wanted to point out that I like the painted toenails today Kenji. I am sure I know who did that artwork and it makes me appreciate what a great dad you are!!!
I would put personally put some finely minced pickles into that egg salad😌
I personally can’t stand a pickle on a hot burger. I love a cold pickle spear served on the side, but hate them warm on a burger. I feel like the odd man out because everyone loves them on burgers. I just don’t get it 😩
Just yesterday I was looking into making egg salad and watching videos. Your video couldn't come at a better time 👍
You're the perfect modern chef. Not snobby, not overly fancy, not attempting to mystify cooking. You get in there and squish eggs with your bare hands, and drop mad science while you do it. 10/10
Kenji I could listen to you talk about how paint drys, you’re an absolute gem to the cooking community!
This might be extra, but I’ve found I really enjoy scooping out the yolks and making sort of a dressing with them, Mayo, mustard and some gojuchang, and mixing the hell out of it. I then chop the whites and whatever mix ins and gently mix them with the dressing. Seems like it creates a little bit more of a textual contrast. It’s egg salad tho so it’s always going to be good!
sounds a bit like deviled eggs!
Interesting idea
It’s Tuesday. I’m watching Kenji make egg salad and I’m perfectly happy with that, thank you very much. 🙂
well your god damn right i spent 10 minutes watching a legend make egg salad, honestly I've never made it exactly the way you did and you always have the best way
I don’t know why but “I have a friend that’s super into dill” had me bustin up, didn’t see that sentence coming
To answer your question Kenji, I was hoping I would spend 10 minutes of my Tuesday watching you make an egg salad sandwich on the internet! I couldn’t say for sure I would be doing that though since I didn’t know if you were gonna upload this video so soon after the how to boil an egg video!
i love your videos, kenji. they always bring a smile to my face. thank you. (:
Yeah I've been watching your vids nearly everyday, really chill vibe and I love cooking so its always a good time.
wtf watching this a year after it released and kenji knows what day it is for me?
me too
Dang, Kenji's got the wholesomeness dialed to 11 in this video. On the off chance you see this Kenji, I really love and appreciate all you do here on youtube. I always learn something new when I watch one of your videos.
Watching this video on a Tuesday before getting out of bed is a good way to start the day
As soon as I saw this video was up I was filled with joy that I had an egg salad video from you to brighten up my Tuesday. Also count me in with team DILL
I can't even start to describe how wonderful and joyful this video has made me. I can only say DILLLLLLLL 😆😁
I don't even like egg salad but I'm so happy to spend ten minutes of my Tuesday with this.
Spending my Wednesday learning about cooking, ty K.
You're the only person, that I know of, that would have me watching make an egg salad sandwich.
Most of your videos have a little nugget that I didn't know. This time it's stream/boil method.
My favorite though is the back draw of a knife while slicing. Did it tonight while mincing garlic!
Thanks for these videos.
8:41 no, I didn’t plan for it, but it was most enjoyable spending those 10 minutes watching you making that beauty of an egg sandwich. 😊
Hey Kenji! I used to work at a local sandwich store and boiled dozens of eggs every day to make our egg salad. Your method is definitely the best in my personal experience, so if you're reading this, Kenji is right! Don't start your boiled eggs in cold water people!
I love how truly there's a million ways to make egg salad, such perfect food! Sometimes I add some tiny cubes of fried pancetta and squeeze of lemon.
Yes J. Kenji Lopez-Alt! That is exactly what I did. Watched my food science friend make an egg salad sandwich! Thank you!
Listening to Kenji talking about how he would react if his friend offered him egg salad with pickle relish.... air kiss!
To be honest ever since the “how to boil egg” video I’ve been waiting for an egg salad sandwich video
Brought a smile into my evening and learned a bit more about egg salad, so all good! :)
Now I know what I'm having for lunch. Yum! Thanks Kenji!
I was as surprised that you mixed the egg salad with your hand as I was when you smooshed the mushrooms for soup with your hand! Once I ordered an egg salad sandwich at a deli, and thought crisp bacon would be a good addition. The whole time I was eating it I thought "egg shells, egg shells, egg shells."
Once the eggs are peeled I rinse them in running water ... no remaining eggshell fragmants, no scraping the egg with fingers!
Rainbow toes!
Kenji, you are my go to for cooking advice! I know you use puns sparingly but was kinda hoping for at least for one during this vid. Your egg salad looks dillecious.
Hey man, I didn't just spend 10 min of my tuesday watching someone make an egg salad, I spent 10 min of my tuesday relaxing, learning, and getting very hungry for egg salad, keep up the great work.
Egg salad for lunch, dinner, and breakfast is fine with me. Thanks for the tip on making the hard boil eggs. A great tip I'm going to try right now.
Kewpie Mayo is amazing in egg salad, it's a different experience, but it tastes so creamy!
It's a different eggs-perience you say?
Brings a whole new meaning to ‘hand mixer’! I WAS expecting the knife. I WAS NOT expecting the hand. 😀
Oh, and I actually highly recommend watching someone make an egg salad sandwich…especially on a Tuesday! Love it, Kenji!
Well, after watching this video I immediately got up and hard boiled eggs and made this egg salad. Best egg salad ever. We did add some of the pickled red onions we always have on hand now thanks your recipe and holy cow was that a great addition.
10 mins watching an egg salad video is actually a nice break from my rabbit hole of non stop wok fried rice videos I’ve been binging
- Kenji: "Did you think you'd be spending 10 minutes of your Tuesday watching someone make an egg salad sandwich?"
- Me: I regret nothing...
BIKES!
"She's not a fan of dill, but she is a fan of screaming out 'dill'"
I never really liked egg salad until I started making it with lemon and capers. That… made it SO GOOD. And now I eat that egg salad all the time.
I love egg salad sandwiches but I never thought to make them myself. Thanks for the upload can't wait to add it to my recipe repertoire.
Just to confirm - Kenji’s perfect method for boiled eggs is… boiling them. Genius
To put it simply yeah. But to be fair there are some people that swear by methods such as salting water, freezing your eggs, starting from cold water, sacrificing a virgin to baphomet. You know, totally normal boiled egg things.
It's a little bit more detailed than that, he explains it more thoroughly in his video dedicated to the technique. Yes it's just boiling them, but also he starts out with hot water and rather than doing a deep boil like most of us at home probably are used to doing he seems to do a boil/steam which he says hardens the whites before they fuse to the shell, something that happens frequently if you start with cold water. So it's a bit more nuanced than it might seem, even if only slightly.
@@alonelychocolatebar1954 Wait, they were supposed to be virgins?!
Question not related to egg salad: In comments to an older video, you had mentioned that wok seasoning is different (black oxide you said, iirc) than carbon steel / cast iron (polymerization from heated oils). From everything I have seen on wok seasoning, the seasoning methods seem very similar, with wok guides occasionally calling to char/burn a vegetable in the wok before rinsing. Could you elaborate on why the seasoning would be different, and if there is a functional difference in the seasonings?
Thank you for continuing to inspire and educate!
Walks get heated much hotter than cast iron pans typically, they also get deglazed with virtually every cook, and they get very well scrubbed out with the bamboo brush after virtually every use. Polymers simply don’t build up in them. The nonstick properties of a walk have more to do with technique than in cast-iron.
Thank you very much!
It's a Tuesday, and I absolutely did just spend 10 minutes watching you make a BOMB egg salad sandwich 😂 not even ashamed. Thanks for the tutorial!
It is Tuesday morning for me and I'm watching this tutorial, Kenji you are a magician.
8:29 that little pitter patter of paws coming up behind you haha Jamon knows it's time to eat 😊
I felt called on the spot when Kenji asked if I knew I’d spend 10 minutes of my Tuesday watching someone make an egg salad, 10 minutes well spent
Love the hand method!! Thanks Kenji!
I had zero intention on watching a video like this when I woke up today because I had no idea what egg salad was. I’m glad I’ve watched it and learnt something new.
Hey Kenji, This looks amazing. It reminds me of the egg sandwich my dad used to make.
But except for mayo and cleary, He added boiled potatoes.
So it's basically boiled potatoes, boiled eggs, salt & pepper mashed and all that on a buttered bread.
Simple recipe, give it a try.
8:42 Yes I just woke up. YES this is exactly what I've done. Being unemployed is not fun anymore.
I feel you. It's no longer funemployed, it's get me out of bed before my brain melts. Plus the depression from a year and a half of being rejected from jobs is making it that watching somebody happily make and eat an egg salad sandwich is uplifting.
Wow, that brioche looks FANTASTIC!!!
Mind blown…I have never used my hands to make Egg Salad but I will now! Definitely giving this one a try this weekend. Thanks! ✌🏻
i’m going to watch someone make an egg salad sandwich
So I will be a good egg if I make this salad?
Kenji, I can't tell you how happy I am about your hard-boiled egg method. Seriously life-changing for me! I've actually won bets with 30 year professional chefs about what is the superior method to boil an egg that peels easily. Your "start in boiling water and then immediately into an ice bath" wins every time. It even works well with the freshest eggs that you can get, not from the grocery store, fresh laid from people who keep chickens, or as we call them in Louisiana, "yard eggs".
Thanks for everything you do my friend!
Thank you for sharing your techniques and your data.
Kenji, The egg salad looks great. I was wondering why you have a Festool dust extractor next to the stove?
Because I was putting in some new ceiling lights.
He literally has it all over his hands yet still gets a separate spoon to taste it lol. Surely I'm not the only one who would just suck it off their fingers.
I guess it is to avoid double dipping? He probably doesn’t want to lick his fingers, add the salt and olive oil, and then put his freshly licked fingers back in the salad.
Never thought of dill in egg salad, that sounds lovely, thanks Kenji!
man to spend a day with kenji. i just want to sit down and listen to him talk about cooking and science for hours
I sure didn't wake up today expecting to be called out by Kenji! :P
Kenji : "let's give it a little taste"
Kenji : *takes a spoon instead of licking fingers
I know it isn't sanitary, but it's his own kitchen in his own home. And he's cooking for his family.
Edit : this is a joke btw, don't take it to heart
For some reason a few people always end up complaining if he does stuff like that. Same goes for when he washes his hands between video shots, people yell in the comments asking why didn’t he do it on video.
It is sanitary enough
No matter what you do people will find something to complain about so I just do what I feel like doing.
My dude, I love the bench knife for scraping stuff up that is a cool tip. Thank you. Also I switched to a vegetable cleaver to do this a couple years ago, and now I can use both knives depending on how I feel. You are amazing!! Keep up the awesome work posting thoughtful information packed videos, love you and your channel!
Scheduled my 10 minutes on a Tuesday during work, Ty Kenji 💪
I did not expect to spend 10 minutes of my Tuesday watching someone make an egg salad sandwich. However this is exactly what I've done and I don't regret it.
1st ever egg salad video I've seen. I always wondered how to make an egg salad. And I saw it on a Tuesday Morning lol. Great videos thanks
This is my favorite egg salad recipe. I use Japanese yuzu flavored kewpie and I can’t go back to using regular kewpie. Also, instead of using my hands, I pass the eggs through a cooling rack. I recommend this method if you don’t want to get your hands dirty! Thanks for the recipe! I never get tired of it.
Kenji is so cool, love your work man
