I can confidently say that this Japanese egg sandwich is hands down one of my favorite sandwiches ever! This is such a simple recipe which yields a wealth of rich and flavorful egg salad, and is perfect for a simple breakfast or whenever you’re on the go.

These make for amazing roadtrip or picnic additions as well, since they taste just as good after a few hours!

Creamy Tamago Sando

The Japanese “Tamago Sando” literally translates to “Egg Sandwich”. It’s basically placing some heavenly soft and creamy egg salad (that’s made from hard boiled eggs) between slices of Japanese milk bread (known as shokupan). And the sandwich can be put together in a jiffy! It’s a really popular snack in Japan, and could easily be found in their convenience stores.

What makes Tamago Sando different from American style egg sandwiches is the use of Japanese mayonnaise, which is more known as Kewpie mayo as that’s the most popular brand. Kewpie mayo only uses egg yolks rather than the whole egg. This makes it have a thicker texture and more savory flavor.

(Psst! Some of the other recipes that I use Kewpie mayo are Salmon Crab Stick Sushi Bake and Karaage Don.)

Ingredients

  • Eggs
  • Salt
  • Japanese mayo: Although you can opt to use regular mayo for this sandwich, I definitely think that Japanese mayo (such as Kewpie Mayo) makes for a creamier and more flavorful sandwich.
  • Sugar: To round out the flavors.
  • Green onions diced (optional)
  • Hot oil (optional): Because I love to add hot oil/chili oil on everything!
  • Milk bread slices or any bread of your choice

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs for 12 minutes or until it’s hard boiled.
  2. Peel the eggs and mash it in a bowl.
  3. Add mayo, salt, sugar, green onions and hot oil to the bowl. Mix it until well combined.
  4. Cut the crust off the sliced breads.
  5. Add 1/2 of the egg salad and cover it with another slice of bread.
  6. Cut the sandwich in half and repeat this step to make another sandwich. Enjoy!

Notes for Japanese Egg Sandwich (Tamago Sando)

  • Creamier: You can also add about 2 tsp of milk/cream to make the egg salad creamier.
  • Milk Bread Substitute: If you can’t find milk bread, brioche bread is a good substitute. You can also try it with white bread that’s really soft and fluffy.
  • Easy Cutting: You can wrap the egg sandwich with a saran wrap to make it easier for you to cut it in half.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
