A YUMMY UNUSUAL TWIST ON CHOPPED EGG SALAD...
 |
| No 67 is not kidding! There is an Asian style egg-mayo |
The Blogger first tasted this egg salad in a North London Jewish cafe and was blown away. It was the way the yolks were treated -- more of a sauce than an equal partner in a combo. Very very tasty and more-ish!
Imagine the surprise when this dish popped up in Apple News+ listed as My Chinese Mum's Egg Salad. Further surprise came on discovering a similar recipe very popular in Japan.
Whatever...67 created something new and the result really is wonderful, reflecting Asia's love of savoury and (slight) sweetness. The Egg Salad has only 5 basic ingredients...though you can zhuz it up with the addition of garnishes like olives.
It is best on any soft bread or rolls - white or wholemeal, regular or toasted - but Challah loaf (rich, yellow and breaded) is perfect.
You can get version of this in Jewish and other delis; 67's is wallet-friendly by comparison.
The sweetness is a must.
