It’s already in your fridge.

Ive traveled to Japan a few times, and the egg salad sandwiches are really that good.

I was born in Montreal, so this Canadian pantry staple has always tasted like home.

For every two tablespoons of Kewpie mayo, shed balance it with one tablespoon of maple syrup.

This mixture was enough to season four hard-boiled eggs.

Another trick to making Mom’s egg salad is separating the egg whites from the yolks.

Then shed toss in the finely diced egg whites before mixing everything together.

Mom would then slice the sandwich in halfnot diagonallyand my younger sister and I would each get half.

This is my favorite egg salad because Mom knows best when it comes to comfort food.

Those konbini Japanese egg salad sandos come in a close second.
