How To Make Vegan Japanese Egg Salad
This vegan Japanese egg salad recipe is super egg and creamy, much creamier than regular egg salad. To make a Japanese egg salad sandwich, called Tamago Sando, you’ll need vegan Japanese milk bread (as most Japanese milk bread isn’t vegan). If you can’t find a vegan one in-store, there are recipes online to make vegan milk bread! 🙂
To make the vegan egg yolks, you’ll want to boil 1/2 cup of ackee for about 10 mins or until tender. Then blend the ackee in a blender with 2 tbsp olive oil, nutritional yeast and black salt. Puree all these ingredients until well combined. Add 1 tbsp of water at a time until you get the yolk-like texture and consistency that you prefer.
Now make your vegan Japanese egg salad! Mix in your vegan egg yolks with vegan kewpie mayo until combined! Cube 1/2 block of soft tofu and 1/2 block of medium tofu and fold into the vegan egg yolk and mayo mixture. and coat the tofu. Please in the fridge to chill. And voila! Vegan Japanese egg salad that you can serve whenever you want! Taste and season the tofu egg salad mixture with black pepper and serve on your vegan Japanese milk bread, sliced with vegan butter over one side of each bread slice. Traditionally, a Japanese egg salad sandwich trims off the discarded crust and the sandwich is cut in half diagonally so you have 2 triangles.
