*If you don't have Kewpie mayo, regular will do fine.

Kewpie mayo is a Japanese-style mayonnaise known for its rich, creamy texture and slightly sweet, umami-packed flavor. It’s made with egg yolks (instead of whole eggs like regular mayo), giving it a silkier consistency and deeper color. Kewpie also uses rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead of distilled white vinegar, which adds a subtle tanginess without the sharpness of traditional mayo. The result is a smoother, more flavorful mayo that pairs especially well with Asian dishes, sushi, and fusion cuisine.

Unable to find kewpie mayo in your local grocery store? This is a problem I encounter in my small midwestern town.

Luckily you can easily find it online!
