Instructions

1. Steam the eggs

  • Prepare a steaming rack over a pan of simmering water. Alternatively, bring 3cm of water to a boil in a pan.

  • Place the eggs on the steaming rack, or in the shallow layer of water. Cover the pan and steam the eggs for 12 minutes.

  • Remove from the pan and allow the eggs to cool naturally. Peel them.


2. Make egg mayonnaise

  • Chop the eggs up finely, and mix in a bowl with the mayonnaise, salt and sugar.

  • If using butter, spread a thin layer on one side of each slice of bread.

  • Sandwich the egg mayonnaise between the bread, buttered side facing in.


Plate and Serve!

Cut the crusts off for a proper Japanese look, and cut in half. Serve!
