konnichiwa it's Nami from just one cookbook back with another video for you
and today we are making japanese style sandwich called wanpaku sando
it's basically a super thick and humongous sandwich that is probably not for the kids
but it's fun to make this sandwich and instagramming
now let's get started
peel and cut 2 carrot into a fine julienne with the julienne blade of a mandolin, peeler, or a sharp knife
sprinkle carrots with 1 tsp kosher salt and rub and mix with hands
to make the vinaigrette, combine 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar, 2 Tbsp olive oil, ¼ tsp sugar,
and freshly ground black pepper, stirring with a whisk
add the vinaigrette to carrot mixture and toss to coat, cover and let stand for 1 hour
In a pot of boiling water, cook the egg on gently simmering water for 9 minutes
heat ½ Tbsp olive oil over medium heat in a frying pan make a fried egg as you like then set aside
transfer the egg from pot to iced water to let cool and peel the shell and set aside
drain the oil/water from canned tuna (if there is any), and season the tuna with 3 Tbsp japanese mayonnaise
sprinkle the tuna with freshly ground black pepper and salt and mix well
peel the 1/2 cucumber with a peeler
pat dry with paper towel
slice 2 tomatoes and place on top of a sheet of paper towel and remove excess moisture
thinly shred 1/4 red cabbage with a cabbage slicer or a sharp knife
take a pit out from one avocado and cut in half lengthwise
cut the avocado into quarters and remove the skin and cut them lengthwise into quarter inch slices
carefully detach one head green leaf lettuce and rinse well then remove the excess moisture with paper towel
in a small bowl, combine 4 Tbsp japanese mayonnaise and add 1 tsp dijon mustard, stirring with a spatula
peel the shell and set aside
prepare plastic wrap
spread the mayo & mustard mixture on 6 slices of toast
#1 ham & turkey sandwich
place the bottom toast in the center of the plastic wrap and start with lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber
fold and place the ham and turkey slices on top, and then fried egg and avocado slices
flat ingredients should be at the bottom and flexible ingredients should be higher on the top
put the grated carrot salad on top, followed by shredded cabbage and finally a lettuce leaf on top
put the toast on top, mayo & mustard side facing down then gently press down the toast with one hand
and lift one side of plastic wrap to wrap around tightly
#2 tonkatsu sandwich
follow exactly as the first sandwich, but with thin tonkatsu (pork cutlet)
smear the mayo & mustard spread, followed by lettuce and the grated carrot salad
to make your sandwich looks prettier you can use parchment paper instead of saran wrap
#3 tuna mayo sandwich
follow exactly as the first sandwich, but with tuna salad
if wrapping with parchment paper is too difficult, you can try with a saran wrap first and
then parchment paper outside of it
Now with parchment paper, you will bring the left and right edges of the paper together
fold the joined edges down by half an inch and crease sharply, continue folding in half-inch turns, creasing each time
press down the top paper, then form a pleated triangle (on working surface), creasing the triangle’s edges
then curl up the triangle to tuck into the folds on the side repeat for the other side, set aside for 5-10 minutes
using a clean and sharp knife (I use a bread knife), cut the sandwich in half along the “cut” line
to pack the sandwich, use a square lunch box container or take out container to pack your sandwich
make sure the sandwich stays tight so they will not loosen or fall apart
itadaki masu!
