Simple & Easy Japanese Mayonnaise Recipe
If you've ever tried Japanese mayonnaise, then you'll know exactly what all the hype is. While mayonnaise exists in many different countries, Japanese mayonnaise tends to be thicker and creamier compared to other countries' mayonnaise. With Japanese mayonnaise brands such as Kewpie becoming all the rage overseas, you may be tempted to try Japanese mayo out for yourself too. However, if you don't use mayonnaise often or don't want to buy a big tube or jar of it, you can make your own kewpie-like Japanese mayonnaise at home!
Before we get into our Japanese mayo recipe, let's briefly dive into what makes the Japanese version different from other countries' counterparts. For more information about Japanese mayo or Kewpie mayo, be sure to check out our blog!
As mentioned previously, Japanese mayonnaise is very creamy. It is also quite rich in flavor. This is due to the fact that egg yolks are used instead of whole eggs. The last big key difference is that rice vinegar is used in Japanese mayonnaise recipes, which adds a tangy flavor and also a slight sweetness. Even if you're not a fan of regular mayo, it's definitely worth trying Japanese mayonnaise at least once.
Now, without further ado, we're going to share our easy, homemade, kewpie-like Japanese mayo recipe!
Note: since this is a freshly made sauce, please store it in an airtight container and use it within 1 day after making.
