Tamago Sand
Egg sand (sandwich) is an easy lunch that is famous in Japan! It needs super simple ingredients that you can at local grocery stores.
Ingredients
- 4 slices white bread or pick your favorite bread
- 2 large egg(s)
- 3 Tablespoon Japanese mayonnaise HERE to buy
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Toast - Cut the crust if you want a classic one. I like crust so I leave as it is.
- EGG - Boil the water, and after boiling add the eggs for 10 minutes. This is the best cooking time for Tamago sand.
- EGG - Prepare a bowl and add ice water. After cooking, add the egg(s) into the ice water in order to peel the egg shell well. After peeling, pat with a paper towel to remove water.
Let's cook
- Prepare a small bowl, and add only the yolks from the boiled eggs. Move the whites from the boiled eggs to a cutting board.
- Cut the white into small pieces.
- Smash the yolk until it smooth.
- Add Japanese mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to the egg yolk bowl. Mix everything well.
- Add the cut whites into the bowl and mix everything.
- Add the egg mixture on one piece of toast. Then place the other piece of toast to close.
- Prepare a piece of parchment paper that is large enough to cover everything. Place the toast on top of the parchment paper. Wrap it tightly.
- Cut in half!
Let's eat!
- This is a good sized lunch or snack :)
Notes
*1 cutting the crust off is the classic way to make Tamago Sand.
