Recipe of the Week

Japanese Egg Salad Sandwich

AllRecipes — Chef John

Ingredients

4 large eggs

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

3/4 teaspoon white sugar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

3 dashes hot sauce, or to taste

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 teaspoons rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

1/4 teaspoon white sugar

1 pinch cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon heavy cream

4 slices soft white bread

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Directions

Place eggs in the bottom of a saucepan. Add 1/4 inch of water. Heat over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cover and steam for 11 minutes. Turn off the heat and drain water carefully; pour cold water over and let cool.

Mix mayonnaise, salt, sugar, mustard, hot sauce, lemon juice, and vinegar for Kewpie-style mayonnaise together. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.

Peel eggs. Mash in a shallow bowl with the side and back of a fork until desired texture is reached. Add salt, sugar, cayenne, heavy cream, and 3 tablespoons Kewpie-style mayonnaise. Stir to combine. Wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 1 hour. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Butter bread slices and use 1/2 of the egg salad on each sandwich. Cut crusts off before serving if you're fancy.
