  • I’m not exactly sure how this simple egg salad sandwich went from humble Japanese convenience store snack to international sensation, but what’s even more surprising is that I decided to do a video for it. I’m not a fan of egg salad. Until now. Enjoy!

    I went to visit some relatives of an old ex girlfriend of mine and her aunt served egg salad sandwiches. The were the BEST I had ever had. I couldn't figure out why it was so good. I noticed little pink things in it and asked her for the recipe. She said, " You don't know what's in it?" I said no. She proceeded to tell me she put bacon bits in it. Huh, who would of thought, Bacon and eggs. You have to try it. AMASING!!!!

    Seeing you mash the entire eggs with a fork gave me newfound appreciation for our egg slicer... I mean those things that kind of resemble a lyra or a harp that you just guillotine the egg with. If you get clean slices, you can even grab them all at the same time and turn the slices 90 degrees so that you can simply bring the harp part back down and get ready-made little egg pieces.

    Actually, the reason why the egg sandos in japan tend to be more yellow is because they feed more nutrients to the chickens that affect the color of yolk, and I believe most use a 1:1 ratio of yolk to egg when making this sandwich. I love that you're making more asian recipes!

    Something I always do for more 'elaborate' egg salad sandwiches is to make my actual salad a day before, and on the day itself make some soft boiled eggs as well. I just halve or quarter those on the sandwich before getting the salad on there, so you get some still slightly warm gooey yolks with the nice egg salad.

  • @cassiehaughey

The best were from a small family store close to my train station where I would buy a combo: one tamago sando, one tonkatsu sando and one with tuna salad. The ones from the convenience stores were more convenient than good. Color-wise, these look good. Never seen cayenne on egg salad in Japan.

    Thank you CJ. I love love love egg salad. The only way to cook hard "boiled" eggs is in a pressure cooker. Place eggs on a wrack so they don't sit in the water. When pressure cooker starts to spew, cook the eggs for exactly 6 min. Release pressure and immediately place eggs under cold water. The eggs will almost peel themselves. This method renders PERFECT hard cooked eggs every time. I'm sorry I don't have a smiling emoji to end this message. Stay safe. Bisous de la France

    If you want to make this truly special and even more Japanese, keep all the ingredients the same, but separate your boiled egg yolks from the whites and WHIP up the yolks! Then fold it in with chopped whites. It makes it so creamy and silky and sweet. Its really what makes the Japanese style so special and different. It's worth the extra 10 mins I promise!

    Several years ago I started placing my eggs in a steamer basket and steaming them for 12 minutes followed by an ice bath. Since adopting that method I have never had difficulty peeling the egg. The other hack I use is pushing the peeled egg through a cooling rack placed over a dish. Makes quick work of the initial chopping of hard boiled eggs. Will probably do that and then finish up with the fork as shown in the video. Thank you Chef John. Always enjoy watching your videos and your recipes.

    A TIP: PBS airs an NHK Japan series called "Trails to Oishii." Oishii means "delicious." Each episode features a different Japanese food or ingredient. I even drag myself out of bed to see it when aired on Sunday early. You can also go to NHK's website, and watch them at your convenience. They have the milk bread. Also "sauce," tea, wasabi, soy foods, soy sauces, miso, whiskey, Japanese honey, adzuki, soybeans, saki, beautiful fruits, apples, berries, persimmons, radish, other vegetsbles, Asian pears, fish and shellfish, Japanese wines, tofu... everything from the farm fields to the plate. They've also got a series called "Travels in Japan," which they air back-to-back on Sundays, and a new one where a bicyclist visits a different area or village each episode... hardly anything about bicycling (just fine with me!), but lots about the people in each locale, their local products, foods, nature, traditions. etc. You won't find this imitation sandwich on any of their series.
