The Best japanese egg salad sandwich recipe
I have been making this Japanese egg salad sandwich for years now and it is always a hit in my house. My kids love the creamy texture and the slight sweetness from the Japanese mayonnaise. It is a perfect lunchbox recipe and also great for picnics or a quick dinner. The best part is it uses simple ingredients you probably already have. Plus eggs are a great source of protein and this sandwich is much lighter than a regular egg salad because of the specific ingredients and preparation method.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Japanese Egg Salad Sandwich (Tamago Sando)
1. What makes Japanese egg salad different from American egg salad?
Japanese egg salad uses Kewpie mayonnaise which has a richer and tangier flavor than American mayo. It also often includes a small amount of sugar for sweetness and the eggs are mashed more coarsely for texture.
2. Can I use regular mayonnaise instead of Kewpie?
Yes, you can use regular mayonnaise but the flavor will be different. To mimic the taste of Kewpie you can add a tiny bit of rice vinegar and a pinch of MSG or sugar to your regular mayo.
3. What type of bread is best for this sandwich?
Japanese milk bread, also called shokupan, is ideal because it is soft and slightly sweet. You can substitute with any soft white bread or brioche. Avoid crusty breads as they will overpower the delicate filling.
4. How long does the egg salad keep in the fridge?
The egg salad will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble the sandwiches just before serving to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
5. Can I add other ingredients to the egg salad?
You can add finely chopped green onion, a little bit of ham, or even some shredded crab stick for variation. Keep the additions small so the creamy egg flavor remains the star.
