  • 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!

      Eggs-actly! Growing up, my mother did not allow her sons in the kitchen. I suspect it was a cultural thing. Thankfully my sisters have helped me out since I've been on my own. Following Chef John's recipes has given me the confidence to pursue cooking for more than survival. Thanks to my sisters and Chef John!

    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.

    I moved to Torrance CA two years ago for a few months. Everything was so unfamiliar, and I wanted to find some comfort food ASAP. Luckily, there was a large Japanese grocery store nearby, so I went in and found all sorts of delicious items to take home to make for myself. (Tofu, veggies, sushi).
    But when I tell you HOW THRILLED I was to find their sando egg salad sandwiches: my homesickness instantly disappeared! I walked there almost every other day just to buy one. I was so grateful.

    Another reason the egg mix sometimes seems more yellow/orange is because the Japanese feed their chickens with high amounts of carotene (peppers, carrots, chili flakes) so that the resulting eggs have a yolk that's deeper in color and visually more appealing.

    • @eldoradocanyonro
      @eldoradocanyonro 3 роки тому +1

      Xanthophyll in the chicken feed. Most of your expensive eggs at the grocery store have orange yolks too. Common additive to chicken feed is marigold petals, for that reason.

    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. Into baking now and looking forward to the bread recipe.

The ones from the convenience stores were more convenient than good. Color-wise, these look good. Never seen cayenne on egg salad in Japan.

    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.
