Transcript

You telling me you was where? And I ate whatever day? When I travel to Japan there was one thing I ate every single day the Japanese egg salad sandwich I ate every single day without fail. The Japanese egg salad sandwich from 7-11. And I'll be honest with you, I would have never guessed in a million years that 7-11 in Japan and not traveling to Japan to get one. We're gonna see if it's any good. Come on. All right, we want to start off five eggs. We need to hard boil these. Do the uh, 10-5 method. 10 minutes boiling five minutes in an ice bath. It's never failed for me. Then we just want to slice these up down the middle. Separate the yellow from the white. Put the yellows in a bowl. And then you get your Kewpie Mayonnaise. Need three tablespoons of this stuff. And then you need a tablespoon of whole milk. A half teaspoon of salt. A quarter teaspoon of pepper. And then a pinch of sugar. And now we want to mix this up real good. All right, once that's mixed up, take your egg whites. We want to slice these up. All right, once they're all chopped up into your bowl. Mix this up. I don't know what kind of bread they use. I never heard of it before. It look like white bread to me. Get you a couple pieces. Throw your big scoop on. Another piece of bread on top. I hate cut the crust off. I'm not a child. So I'm gonna eat the skin. Let's see what this tastes like. 7-11 Japanese egg salad. Is it worth eating every day? Why? Because of this Kewpie Mayo? Because of the sugar? I've never made egg salad before, so I don't really know what ingredients are in it. But good. Oh my god. Listen, if I was in Japan, I'd find me a hotel right next to a 7-11 because my gosh. I'm not kidding when I tell you, this is the best egg salad I have ever put in my mouth. Why? Because of this Kewpie Mayo. Because of the sugar. I've never made egg salad before, so I don't really know what ingredients are in it. But good. Oh my gosh. I'm gonna watch some more. I'll see y'all.
