JAPANESE EGG SALAD SANDWICH (TAMAGO SANDO)

Japanese Egg Salad Sandwich (Tamago Sando) image

I'm going to show you my take on the world-famous tamago sando, plus how to make a version of a mayonnaise so addictive, it literally has a cult following. If that wasn't enough, I'm also going to tease an upcoming video for the world's most critically-acclaimed white bread.

Ingredients

4 large eggs
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 dashes hot sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon white sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon heavy cream
4 slices soft white bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

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.

DEVILED EGG NOODLE SALAD

Deviled Egg Noodle Salad image

Just so everybody's clear, we are not making deviled eggs and then turning them into a noodle salad. We are actually making a salad with the same flavors, using egg noodles. Because we use so many ingredients that typically are used for deviled eggs, this salad really did have a similar flavor profile, and tastes amazing. Garnish the salad with freshly chopped chives and green onions.

Ingredients

⅔ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons hot sauce, or to taste
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar

Steps:

Combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, paprika, black pepper, cayenne, hot sauce, Worcestershire, and sugar in a large bowl with a whisk. Refrigerate until needed.
Fill a large pot with well salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until just barely tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse under cold tap water until cool to the touch. Drain well and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add bell pepper, celery, green onions, carrot, and salt to the noodles. Toss well with dressing to combine. Wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, tossing occasionally for best results.
