Kewpie Mayonnaise 500 g (Pack of 2)

Product Information

In a wide mixing bowl, add egg yolk and Dijon mustard. Whisk the two together until they’re completely smooth and combined. Storage– Since it’s made without preservatives, homemade kewpie mayo will last around 2 weeks in the fridge when properly stored in a glass jar or airtight container. Vegetable Oil– Use a neutral flavoured vegetable oil such as canola oil or avocado oil. Avoid olive oil as its flavour will overpower the mayonnaise. I like to keep a jar of this in the fridge for takeout sushi, hibachi shrimp, air fryer vegetables, and even for when I make frozen burgers in the air fryer! How to store Hibachi Yum Yum Sauce The Japanese are obsessed with this condiment as we use it on sandwiches, okonomiyaki, rice bowls, fusion sushi, salad dressings, and even pizza. In fact, when I was growing up, there were limited choices of dressings, so we used to eat our salad with a dollop of Kewpie mayo (oh, the good old days!)

Egg – Our recipe uses a whole egg at room temperature. American readers should make sure to use a pasteurised egg (this is not usually an issue in Australia). Read up on how to pasteurise an egg at home if you need. Sub with two egg yolks for a more traditional Kewpie. If you can’t find Kewpie mayo but you absolutely need it in your life, you can sub regular mayo and add a bit of rice vinegar and sugar to make a Kewpie mayo substitute. How to use Kewpie mayo Ingredients: vegetable oil (70%) (rapeseed oil, soybean oil), pasteurised egg yolk (14%), vinegar, salt, flavour enhancer: E621, spices. Contains allergens: soya, eggs, gluten (barley), mustard. Extras: you’ll need melted butter to add richness, sugar to counteract the acidity of the tomato paste, and water to thin out the sauce a bit. These help create the perfect balance between all of the ingredients. What is kewpie mayo? Yum yum sauce is a versatile sauce, as you can use it in a variety of ways besides hibachi. It makes a great salad dressing, a fantastic dipping sauce for onion rings, air fryer tofu, french fries, or zucchini chips. I’d even go as far as to slather it on all over a burger. It’s honestly super addicting!Kewpie mayo includes monosodium glutamate (MSG), which gives an umami flavor. Since I don’t keep a bag of MSG brand Ajinomoto at home, I add dashi powder (MSG-free) instead to give a similar umami flavor. The umami from kombu and Katsuobushi in the dashi powder works in the mayonnaise. 5.Gently pour in the oil in a thin, steady stream Hibachi dinners are just incomplete without yum yum sauce. Whether at my favorite Japanese steakhouse or homemade, I love dousing my hibachi in yum yum sauce. Trust me, once you discover this yummy sauce, you won’t ever be the same!

Kewpie mayonnaise comes in an incredible squeeze bottle with a red flip lid. It has a thin tip that is perfect for piping kawaii faces onto omelettes or making beautiful lines of mayo on okonomiyaki. If you unscrew the lid, there’s also a star tip that let’s you squeeze out blobs of mayo for those times when you need more, like when you’re making potato salad. Now that we know the difference between Japanese and American Kewpie versions, here’s more detail about what ingredienst are in each version:It ended up tangier than Kewpie, and nowhere near as salty, but my family prefers it that way. Especially it being less salty. I added in some preservatives like sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate so it hopefully lasts longer than 4 days. Not sure how long it will last, but I’m already hearing plans to use it for egg salad and potato salad. m Emulsifying is done by slowly adding one ingredient to another while mixing rapidly. This disperses and suspends tiny droplets of one liquid through another. Proteins and lecithin in the egg yolk serve as emulsifiers. Still, it’s better to use equipment if you already have one in your kitchen. Using a tool helps churn your homemade mayonnaise much faster and more consistently (less arm work, too). 7.Use pasteurized egg yolks or very fresh egg yolks

Used this as a basis to make almost 4 litres of mayo. Suffice it to say, I split the flavour between 50% dashi and 50% Aji no Moto, since dashi is so expensive around here…

But if you can’t find Kewpie...

When the founder of Kewpie, Toichiro Nakashima, was interning in the UK and US for the Japan Department of Agriculture and Commerce during the 1910s, he was first introduced to mayonnaise which soon gave him the idea to make his own variety. He named the condiment after the baby-faced character that soon showed up as dolls and mascots for other products that represented a cherry and merry personality. What does Kewpie mayo taste like? Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, egg yolk, and vinegar. Oil and water in the yolk area mixture of two liquids that normally can’t be combined. If you can’t get Kewpie mayonnaise you can grab another brand of Japanese mayonnaise, but the original and best is Kewpie brand. If you can’t get your hands on any Japanese mayo at all, you can make a substitution at home. Recipe below! Kewpie mayo substitutes
