Hello Everyone I am Masa， i would like to share with you a yummy Japanese Egg Salad Sandwich
This is called Tamago Sando
Egg Salad Sandwich in chinese
Every time when I return home to Japan, I often visit my neighbor convenient store,
I would buy drinks, snacks and food including sandwich
they have many different sandwiches to choose from but my favorite is Egg Salad Sandwich!
You can make this sandwich with my easy to follow steps and everyday ingredients
So let's get start on this yummy creation.
2 Eggs
Start your egg with cold water and bring it up to boil
Boil the egg for about 10 minutes after boiling
Masa's Tip: move your eggs from time to time will keep your egg yolk stay in the middle.
10 minutes later
place both eggs into ice water
smash the egg with potato masher
Masa's Tip: don't over smashed your egg so you will have better texture instead of mushy egg salad
2 Table spoon of mayonnaise
1 Teaspoon of condensed milk
Masa's Tip: condensed milk will bring added sweetness and dairy flavor to the salad
Sprinkle of salt and freshly grounded black pepper
Masa's Tip: it's delicious to eat as is!
so our Japanese style egg salad is ready now
Masa's Tip: you can prepare boil egg your way as well
I used potato masher this time
this is used to prepare mash potato
Masa's Tip: it works great with boil egg as well as red bean paste
if you don't have potato masher you can also use egg slicer
you can easily slice boil eggs into egg slices where you can incorporate them in many dishes
first place the egg in the middle
press down to slice it one way then turn it to slice it again
Masa's Tip: cross cuts will produce better texture egg salad
if you don't have either masher or slicer, you can also use strainer
place the strainer over a bowl and place the egg in the middle, then use spatula to push and break down the egg
Masa's Tip: using the strainer will result in finer egg
Masa's Tip: it can be use on all kind of salads
if you don't have any of the tools i used so far
no problem we will just use our old and trusted glass bottle
wrapped the bottom with plastic wrap and mash the egg with the bottom
2 slices of toast
trim off the crust
Masa's Tip: you can either trim it or leave it on as you prefer
Masa's Tip: you can make bread crumbs from the trimming with food processor
now lightly butter the toast which we trimmed off the crust
Masa's Tip: butter will prevent the toast from becoming too soggy
Masa's Tip: wrap the sandwich tightly to keep it's shape
Masa's Tip: put it in the refrigerator for about an hour will do an even better job
Masa's Tip: cut it with knuckle side down will prevent indention from your fingers
OK!!! here is my take on a simple but delicious tamago sando hope you enjoy it
This is a very simple recipe, can be made quickly and it’s perfect for breakfast
let's start eating!
hmmmmm Yummy!!!!!!!
because i didn't smash the egg many times so it have that lovely texture and you can really taste the egg yolk and egg white
D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!
pair up with cup of coffee makes it a perfect breakfast couple
You can also add some yellow mustard to give it a kick while you butter up the totast and it's equally delicious
Masa's Tip: kick it up with yellow mustard will bring it to another level!
Masa's Tip: you can also substitute toast with croissant or hot dog buns
cut it in the center and stuff egg salad with lettuce and tomato
in the video I wrapped my sandwich with clear wraps, but if you don’t like clear wrap, you can also use lightly moist cloth
Masa's Tip: using lightly moist cloth will prevent toast from drying up
make sure you lightly moist the cloth without excess water, so it will be moist and tasty like you just made it.
if you make them for picnic or lunch box
you can use baking paper
Masa's Tip: baking paper makes it perfect to pack them and eating them without creating a mess
There are lot of selections for baking paper
You can find this easily in all stores
just tear a piece and wrap your sandwich in it
but if you want to step it up an notch
Japan also have a large selection of fancy printed baking papers to chose from
Let me show you how Masa would wrap his sandwich
This make it a perfect snack to take with you!
or cut it into halves
and serve them on your favorite plate
finger licking good and won't make a mess
Masa's Tip: You can buy them at Japanese Department stores like Daiso or Hands
and if you ever travel to Japan, you can pick them up while traveling Japan
so this time we show you how to make a simple yet delicious tamago sando
