How to make divine Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise at home
Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise is so delicious. This mayo is slightly more acidic and fuller in flavor, and perfect with Japanese dishes. But that’s not all; this mayo is so delicious that I often use it with other dishes too. Kewpie mayonnaise with a toasted sandwich or fries is just as good an idea.
The only downside… I quite often find myself standing in front of an empty shelf when I want to buy it at the supermarket. But did you know that you can also easily make Kewpie mayonnaise at home?
Only 5 ingredients needed
You only need to have five ingredients at home — unless you want to make the mayonnaise entirely from scratch. In that case, I have a very simple and quick recipe for you here! Personally, I always make things as easy as possible for myself and simply use ready-made mayonnaise as a base. Not only do I think Hellman’s tastes best, this mayonnaise also works best if you want to make a perfect copy of Kewpie.
Follow these steps to make Kewpie mayonnaise
1. Put all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix until combined, until the sugar and dashi powder are no longer visible and have completely dissolved. Tip: if the mayonnaise has become a little too thin or watery, use a food processor to mix everything for a little longer. Or do it by hand.
2. Pour it into a jar or bottle and place it in the refrigerator. You can keep it for about two weeks!
PS. Addicted to Kewpie’s mayonnaise? Then also try their sesame sauce!
