CHINESE (?!) EGG SALAD: wallet-friendly, easy-peasy indulgence, dairy free opt, dip or sandwich filling,

 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.


Cost: £1.75'ish (1/25)
