Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- ¼ cup Kewpie mayonnaise
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp caster sugar
- 2 tsp milk
- 1 tbsp chopped green onion
- 8 slices white bread, crusts removed
Method
- Fill a pot with water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Gently place the eggs in the pot and set a timer for 9 minutes.
- While the eggs cook, fill a medium-sized bowl with ice and water.
- Place the 9-minute eggs in the ice bath for 5 minutes.
- Peel the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites.
- Using a potato masher, mash the yolks together. You can also pass the yolks through a sieve for a smoother texture.
- Add the kewpie, salt, pepper, caster sugar, and milk and mix to combine.
- Roughly chop the egg whites to your desired consistency.
- Add the whites to the yolk mixture and combine, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
- Place in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Spoon 2-3 tbsp of the egg mixture evenly onto each sandwich.
- Using a serrated knife carefully cut the sandos in half with little pressure to avoid smushing the bread.
