Here’s my printed recipe for egg salad that is not quite the same as how I make mine in the video: www.seriouseat...
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.
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.
I was one of your egg peelers at Wursthall! Love seeing that data turned into practice.
"Lets give it a little taste," hands covered in egg salad, he pulls our a spoon, lmfao.
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?
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.
@@jeanniebrooks he has another video where he talks about boiled eggs in detail btw if you haven't seen it yet
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
2 things, Kenji:
- nice toenail polish
- "Dude, you're getting a Dill" would be a great line
🤣
wtf watching this a year after it released and kenji knows what day it is for me?
me too
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!
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.
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.
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.
I made this today morning(Tuesday) for breakfast and my wife & I loved it. Thanks, Kenji!
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 😩
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!
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!
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.
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 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.
I don't even like egg salad but I'm so happy to spend ten minutes of my Tuesday with this.
I love watching making egg salad on a Tuesday because it relaxes me and I can do it while waiting for notes from client.
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.
this video was 1 year a go, yet he knows that I watch this on Tuesday!
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!
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
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. 😊
Yes J. Kenji Lopez-Alt! That is exactly what I did. Watched my food science friend make an egg salad sandwich! Thank you!
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?
Grew up with my grandmothers egg salad, its part of my history. She would love everything about this, even the hands. Thank you!
I can't even start to describe how wonderful and joyful this video has made me. I can only say DILLLLLLLL 😆😁
that hardboiling tip is the best. i used to do it the opposite way (starting the eggs in cold water then bringing to a boil) and never understood why my eggs were so bad to peel.
- Kenji: "Did you think you'd be spending 10 minutes of your Tuesday watching someone make an egg salad sandwich?"
- Me: I regret nothing...
hmmm I'm watching one year later, on a Tuesday :). Thank you to my son for turning me on to Kenji, love your videos.
I'm a big fan of simple curried egg sandwich of just boiled egg(s), mayo, curry powder and salt. Served with lettuce in the sandwich.
Have started adding diced red onion and wow massive difference! I will definitely be inspired by this video
These 10 minutes were the highlight of my lunch break, so thank you!
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.
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!
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 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
So I will be a good egg if I make this salad?
I use a pot with a steam basket on it starting at a boil, and steam for 10 to 12 mins. They peal great because they are steam boiled.
I'm watching this a month after release and yet it just so happens to be a tuesday night, nice.
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!
watching this on a tuesday a week later is very satisfying
the fact it’s my day off and it’s tuesday, 2 years later is crazy lol
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! ✌🏻
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.
Now I know what I'm having for lunch. Yum! 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
Peeling eggs while they are submerged under water really makes it super easy and you almost never make mistakes
Mmmmh I will never get bored of your videos Kenji 😋
I sure didn't wake up today expecting to be called out by Kenji! :P
My preferred method (from making egg salad for the cafeteria in college) is to push the eggs through a grid-style (as opposed to grill-grate) cooling/baking rack. Yes, the kind you’d put on a sheet pan. Just use your palm and push the egg down, clean that one off with the next. Perfect diced egg every time
Yeah I've been watching your vids nearly everyday, really chill vibe and I love cooking so its always a good time.
Never thought of dill in egg salad, that sounds lovely, thanks Kenji!
I wasn't expecting to watch someone make an egg salad sandwich on a Tuesday but sometimes it is nice to win. I am very pleased that I am watching someone make an egg salad sandwich on a Tuesday.
Spending my Wednesday learning about cooking, ty K.
When a video is 2 months old and he still says the correct day of the week it's a little spooky!
adding FRESH slices of cucumber to the sandwich is amazing btw
i have really good results with doing them in a steamer basket right into an already steaming pot, lid on, cook times seem about the same
Kenji going in with his hands made me feel all kinds of feelings
Only in this cooking show will i hear eggs and double blind tests all in one breath. Love it!
My mum always put capers in our egg salad. I always loved it.
YES! Plus a splash of cider vinegar and some sliced black olive.
I did in fact watch this on a Tuesday by chance
7:15.. I love that Kenji uses a spoon to taste for seasoning but his hand is drenched in egg salad. LoL 😆
I found that peeling the egg with the flesh of your thumb rather than the nail/tip of the finger allows to peel it in 2-3 motions. I almost peel the shell into two whole halves.
"I bought brioche because I wanted to make French toast for my daughter." What a dad!
If it's you that's cooking I'll watch it gladly anytime, Kenji.
It is indeed Tuesday and yup, I certainly had no idea that I would be watching someone make a good egg salad this morning, haha.
boil your eggs/I use 8 eggs cool down & peel ( I like to put my eggs in freezer 5 minutes) no longer
now mix real mayo / sweet green relish chopped fresh dill and very finely chopped garlic (2 small cloves) or to taste
chop green onion (save that for last) mix all other ingredients in bowl take your eggs and
using a egg slicer / slice once turn 180 degrees slice. 2 at a time now in a separate bowl add a bit of your mayo mix stir gently with fork
Repeat, this way you have control over how soggy or firm you you like your egg salad (I like mine firm)
you want to taste the eggs now into the fridge 1/2 hour to bind the Flavors together
take your (Egg Salad Creation) add a bit of sliced green onion/ salt & pepper to taste)
Remember 🤔STIR/MIX GENTLY
Kenji it would be cool to see a video of how you approach grocery shopping/planning meals for a week.
I loudly gasped when you threw hand(s) with the eggs. Good show.
I smashed that like button when Kenji laid the egg salad on top of brioche bread 🍞 🥚 yuuuuuummmmm
You are blowing my mind right now. I used to ALWAYS boil my eggs by putting eggs in cold water, bring it to a boil, cover and take off the burner for 15 min. I have recently noticed that my eggs have been MUCH easier to peel and I HAVE indeed been bringing my water to boil before plopping my eggs in!! I had no idea that was why, I thought I was just getting better at peeling eggs, LOL!!
Helicopter fridge.... we call one of mine The Imperial Icebox becuase it makes noises like when they're encasing Han Solo in carbonite...
I'm a big fan of the box grater, it also works on the pickle I use for crunch when I'm too lazy to cut celery. Sometimes I use pickled onions but I find raw onion is nothing I want in my egg salad or it's all I taste. And I add paprika, not mustard. Good thing we're all different, or the world sure would be boring.
I did not, but at 11:32 pm Eastern time, I'm not upset about it. I LOVE the idea of smushing by hand. I'd never thought of it, and always use a ricer. Perfect texture fix. YES
For anyone who has a instant pot, try the 5-5-5 method for “boiled “ eggs. For me, it has a 100% success rate and peels fall off easily. I spent decades being frustrated with boiled eggs looking terrible, particularly for deviled eggs, but getting an instant pot was a game changer. It’s 5 minutes at high pressure, 5 minutes at natural release, followed by quick release, then 5 minutes in an ice bath and it works. Takes about 20 minutes total because it takes a few minutes to come up to pressure, and then your eggs are perfect. You can do a lot at a time, too. Anyway, Kenji’s recipe looks great and much more chef worthy than mine, which is just the boiled eggs, kewpie mayo (for me it has to be Kewpie), and salt and pepper to taste. I always want shokupan bread for the best egg sandwich so I usually don’t make this unless I have shokupan in the house.
kenji seems to be the nicest person on the planet
those celery pieces were very consistent in their size. that was satisfying.
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.
I love how I'm rewatching this.. 2 months after it was posted.. on a Tuesday xD
The painted toenails are a nice shout-out to your daughter. 🥰
I have that salad spinner. For years. Just sayn i love it
My mother used to make egg salad almost exactly like that *but* she added a touch of apple, peeled and chopped to about the same consistency as pickle relish.
I like a little finely chopped cucumber peel in mine. And occasionally some finely diced bell pepper.
It's me.. I'm the friend with the sweet pickle relish.
I also put it in tuna salad.. always felt the sweet pickly vinegar taste offset the richness of all the mayo and egg yolk really well.
There are very few sandwiches that I prefer using un-toasted bread however an egg salad sammy is one of them.
My go-to way to get boiled eggs peeled easy is "5 minutes" in my electronic pressure cooker (my not-not-instant-pot). However, that gives you fully dry cooked yolks without fail. I think the pressure-steaming somehow gets under the shell and makes a layer that separates the membrane from the egg white.
Watching this in November and it just so happens to be Tuesday
I'm randomly watching this on a Tuesday. Stop messing with my head, James!
Made the egg salad. no complaints at all. I forgot the sweet relish at the store. Egg steaming method works as advertised.
The easiest way to peel eggs is put them back in the pot with an inch of cold water, put on the lid, and while it's in the sink you slide/shake it like a maniac for 10 seconds. The shells crack and water gets between the shells and the egg, and the eggs can be plucked right out shell free.
I was far more amused by the sudden hand dive and squishing than I should have been I think. I am going to go make this and add it to my salmon salad I made last night!
